Huddersfield, Sheffield Hallam and Central Lancs have all installed
Deaf Alert, which notifies deaf students if there is a need to
evacuate. It is hoped delegates to the Deaf Symposium at Central
Lancs will be issued with the pager part and so will be able to receive
messages as well. This has also been installed in the St. Helens town centre
because deaf people were not alerted when the bomb went off in
Manchester last year and there was obviously local concern.
If you are interested, there is a demo at Leeds Uni on 25th June.
