Commitment
Accessibility
Last reviewed June 2026
This archive exists so people can read emergency information clearly, under pressure. We treat accessibility as part of that mission, not an afterthought — and we keep working at it. If something gets in your way, please tell us.
What we aim for
We target the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA as our baseline, and we test the experience the way real people use it: with a keyboard, a screen reader, and reduced-motion settings turned on.
What's built in
- Full keyboard support. Every interactive control is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus ring and a “skip to content” link.
- Semantic structure. Real landmarks (header, main, footer), meaningful headings, and ARIA live regions that announce search results and status changes.
- Respects reduced motion. If your system requests reduced motion, animations are turned off; the immersive Experience also has its own reduce-motion toggle.
- Readable contrast. Text colors meet AA contrast in both light and dark themes, and the site honors your system light/dark preference.
- Never color alone. Severity, source quality, and status are always carried by text or icons, not color by itself.
- Generous targets. Touch targets meet the 44×44px minimum, and the layout reflows cleanly from phone to desktop.
Still improving
No site is ever “done” on accessibility, and neither is this one. Some areas — dense data tables, the immersive Experience, and very long pages — are where we focus ongoing work. We'd rather know about a barrier than assume there isn't one.
Report a problem
If any part of this site is hard to use with assistive technology, please open an issue on GitHub. Tell us the page, what you were trying to do, and the tool you were using; we'll do our best to fix it quickly.
