Services that fall under effective communication access include Sign Language interpretation and Communication Access Real-Time Transcription (CART). Sign Language interpretation services are essential for individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind or have other communication disabilities to interact with FEMA or to gain awareness and understanding of the assistance made available to communities affected by disaster. CART services are necessary for individuals with hearing loss and other communication disabilities that rely on text-based communication methods to receive information. To ensure compliance with federal law, FEMA provides effective communication access by utilizing these services at home inspections, meetings and other public facing events.
