'Moore Safe Nights' program launches, honoring work of late ASL interpreter
SUMMARY: A new initiative called the More Safe Nights program is enhancing severe weather alerts for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing in Kentucky. Developed by the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and the Division of Emergency Management, the program honors the late ASL interpreter Virginia Moore. It provides specialized weather radios equipped with a pillow shaker and strobe light, allowing users to receive alerts through vibrations and visual cues. Initially, 700 radios are available for free on a first-come, first-serve basis to those with hearing loss. The initiative aims to raise more funding after distribution.
“This was her passion, and I’m glad that her memory is still alive as she continues to serve,” Moore’s widow Row Holloway shared tearfully at the lectern.
