With everything now days that is “caught on camera”, you
would think that people would know better.
As you can see in this video of the Manatee County Florida Emergency
Operations Center, we still don’t.

It is very hard to see things like this and to hear the
reasons why decisions are being made to use someone that “knows how to
sign”. In this instance, using someone
with minimal skills could have cost lives.
As someone alluded to in the comments on this video, if the person
giving the briefing had given it in German, everyone would have been up in
arms.
When it is necessary to utilize an interpreter, don’t just
get someone that “knows how to sign”, it is not good enough!
Respond with any ideas you have on how to help prevent
things like this from happening!
