Governor Andy Beshear said the first round of equipment "went really fast" but the program is about to double thanks to a donation from Dr. Chris Dockins and the Community Foundation of West Kentucky.
The gift is in honor of sign language interpreter and the Moore Safe Nights program's namesake Virginia Moore who helped the state's deaf and hard of hearing community navigate the pandemic and countless weather emergencies.
“As Dr. Dockins said, Virgina was in our homes and hearts ensuring that critical information was accessible during life’s toughest moments,” Beshear said. “Now this program continues her work to remind us that our new Kentucky home is about all of us.”

The Moore Safe Nights emergency radios are free to the state’s deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
