inform persons with different disabilities in a mergency situation! I still
think it is inappropriate to consult doctors and professionals working in the
field of disability when it comes to communication, PWD themselves shall always
be consulted, we are the stakeholders and know the best of how we can
communicate with existing technology. However, new and future ICT may give us
even better opportunities and we welcome all atempts to develop new technology
that can serve all people in an information society, system which are useable
for all on an equal basis.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Dear Hiroshi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> You have put together a very strong
program for Persons with Disabilities. Please accept my
congratulations.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> We have several medical, community, and
disabilities providers currently working here on sustained "Relief and
Long-Term Recovery for Vulnerable Populations from Hurricane Katrina,
and Emergency Preparedness for Disasters to Come - with Full Inclusion Persons
with Disabilities." This effort may benefit from your strong efforts to
include Persons with Cognitive and Intellectual Disabilities, as well as for
Persons with all Physical Disabilities. Perhaps it may offer lessons to be
shared in the future, as well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Your active efforts to help promote the
exchange of this vital information, tools, techniques and partnerships - using
Fully Accessible ICT - will benefit Persons with Disabilities; vulnerable
populations; and all populations and will help to encourage the daily growth
of inclusion for persons with disabilities in Civil Society.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Please accept my
congratulations and thanks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
