On behalf of the city of Killeen and the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, I would like to share some valuable information with you about Accessible Alerts.
The city of Killeen is partnering with Deaf Link to provide the Accessible Hazard Alert System (AHAS) which will send accessible alert messages to registered residents who are Deaf, Blind, Hard of Hearing, or Deaf-Blind; before, during, and after an emergency or disaster in Killeen.
Killeen AHAS subscribers in an area affected by an emergency or disaster will be able to receive an accessible alert message in American Sign Language (ASL) and English voice and text. The alert message could include information about the emergency and what actions to take.
Killeen AHAS will send accessible alert messages to internet and video capable devices such as computers and mobile devices. These Alerts are also Braille reader accessible.
Prepare, Plan, and Stay Informed. Click here to signup for the Killeen AHAS to receive alert messages in accessible formats.
