The mortality rate of disabled persons during the 3.11 disaster was approximately double the average; specifically, more than 70 deaf people lost their lives. Why is that? As it happened, in the time between the quake and the arrival of the tsunami, TV broadcasts had been cut off and the deaf were unable to access the information in radio and neighborhood warnings. Moreover, these people suffered an information gap at the evacuation sites, where they were unable to hear announcements. This edition of TOMORROW explores this issue and seeks effective measures for future disasters.
