New! Sign Language Versions of Earthquake Preparedness Videos

A sign language interpreter stands to the left of a screen depicting cartoon figures, under which are three logos: NEHRP, CREW, and CUSEC

CREW is pleased to present American Sign Language (ASL) versions of five earthquake preparedness quick-draw videos!

The five short videos show viewers how an earthquake could affect them financially and what steps they can take to prepare, including buying earthquake insurance.

All of the videos include closed captioning.

The videos are free to view, share, download, and embed. They’re a quick and engaging way to raise awareness and promote preparedness for earthquakes.

Check out the Insure Against Earthquakes outreach hub to find additional free outreach materials to use in your next public preparedness campaign. And be sure to share these helpful new guides from FEMA, too:

Funding for the development of the videos and ASL translations was provided by a grant from FEMA National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program.

Now available from FEMA: The Homeowner’s Guide to Prepare Financially for Earthquakes and the Renters Guide to Prepare Financially for Earthquakes.

These easy-to-use guides help people both consider how an earthquake could impact them, and identify steps they can take today to plan for their recovery.

What’s inside:

  • Guidance and resources, including tips on how to think about and manage personal finances and insurance.
