Helene Disaster Recovery Help

ASL Vlog Transcript: Hello! My name is Anita McDaniel, SC Association of the Deaf Executive Director. We want to let the Deaf community in South Carolina know that we have been meeting with the SC Disability Partners in Disaster Coalition on Zoom since Monday. That meeting includes ABLE SC, FEMA, SCEMD, Disability Organizations, and State Agencies. Everyone is working together to give updates on areas impacted by Hurricane Helene and what resources are available. We are saddened to see the awful damage by Helene around the state and our neighboring states. SCAD is helping to gather information from any Deaf, Deaf-Blind, Deaf Latened, Hard of Hearing, and parents with deaf and hard of hearing children in our state. 

If you need help with getting water, food, medical needs, or other please call SCAD at VP 803-403-9255. If we do not answer, please leave a message. We may be on another call or at a meeting. Or you can email [email protected]

You may be eligible for FEMA assistance in approved county. If you need help with applying for FEMA assistance in ASL, please contact us so we can let FEMA know. 

Some areas in SC have power back, and some are still waiting. Some are not able to call out. If you can help spread the word to let them know to contact SCAD when they can, we appreciate it. Again, contact information is VP 803-403-9255 or email [email protected]
