Who can use the card?
Anyone. Deaf and DeafBlind individuals, family members, friends, first responders, EMTs, teachers, neighbors—anyone who wants to be ready to communicate in an emergency can carry the card. There are no eligibility requirements.
A card that connects
The emergency communication card.
Clear visual prompts and essential ASL signs. A practical bridge between first responders and Deaf individuals.
Understanding,
within reach.
Our waterproof, high-contrast communication card features medical prompts and American Sign Language signs to support communication during an emergency.
Every card has been reviewed, approved, and edited by both first responders and Deaf and DeafBlind individuals. Including perspectives and input from both sides makes the card stronger and more helpful in a real emergency—for the people responding and for the people being helped.
Anyone can use the card.
A communication aid, not a replacement for a qualified interpreter or accessible communication services.
