The reason for this is that the District claimed that they did notify everyone as much as possible but promptly? I do not think so. I am hearing out from you. Thanks in advance.

I heard about it on Orlando's WESH 2 news and the announcement was both auditory and visual.

Thanks GracieGirl.

However, do I expect to watch the Orlando's WESH 2 at all times? That may be a big demerit! Whenever there is any alert like Homeland Security Level, it should be announced in every media as much as possible. Just wondering.

I don't think there is any question that the initial communication about this was poorly handled for all groups of people (hearing and non-hearing). However, I think we should give them credit for responding to the criticism and modifying their communication method when issuing the all clear notification (which I assume will be used for all future alarms.) The new methods include both audible and written communication. However, it does require a proactive step taken by each of us in the sense that everyone should register with the county for their emergency notification (at a minimum). It also may be useful to register with the district.gov site for e-notification.
