Now the blind and deaf blind have independent on
demand access to weather alerts through
NFB-NEWSLINE using a standard touch-tone
telephone or IOS device such as an iPhone.
A NFB-NEWSLINE® subscriber commented: For the
first time I am able to easily gain access to
emergency weather service alerts by making a
phone call. With the addition of the
AccuWeather® alerts on NFB-NEWSLINE®, I can
access the information that I need to keep my family safe.
