DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a major step toward inclusive emergency communication, SOS Technologies today announced the launch of its groundbreaking Emergency Alert System, designed specifically to serve members of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community with real-time alerts delivered via American Sign Language (ASL) video and animated GIFs.
The system delivers immediate, visually clear instructions during emergencies such as active shooter incidents, fires, smoke events, and tornadoes, ensuring Deaf individuals receive guidance in sign language, the language most accessible to them.
Each alert includes looping ASL videos or GIFs that provide step-by-step instructions tailored to the emergency at hand, viewable via text message, mobile app, or digital signage in public spaces.
“Emergencies don’t wait for accessibility,” said Travis Leonardi, Chief Executive Officer of SOS Technologies. “This system ensures the Deaf community receives life-saving information at the same time as everyone else—delivered in their primary language, with the clarity and speed needed when seconds count.”
The system covers the following key scenarios:
“We worked closely with Deaf advisors and first responders to ensure every message is linguistically accurate and appropriate,” Leonardi added. “We are committed to making our technology accessible to all, including individuals with disabilities who have special challenges in emergency public safety incidents.”
The system integrates seamlessly with existing emergency infrastructure, allowing organizations, schools, and municipalities to enhance their current alert systems with ASL-based content that’s immediate, mobile-friendly, and entirely visual, requiring no sound or spoken language.
