Standards we target
We design and test against WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This aligns with the accessibility requirements most municipal procurement teams screen for: US Section 508, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), and EN 301 549 for EU and UK public-sector buyers.
What we test
- Keyboard navigation across the triage, playbooks, and forms.
- Colour contrast for body, headings, badges, and interactive states.
- Screen-reader behaviour with current versions of NVDA, VoiceOver, and JAWS.
- Print stylesheets for playbooks, the readiness checklist, and triage summaries.
- Reflow at 200% zoom and on small viewports.
Known limitations
We track known gaps and prioritize them in each release. Outstanding items at the time of this statement: no audio descriptions for embedded video (we currently host no video); the triage tree assumes a pointing device or keyboard — screen-reader users have an equivalent linear reading mode in playbooks for the same content.
Reporting a barrier
If you find an accessibility barrier, please tell us. Email accessibility@hackfirstaid.com with the page URL, the issue, and what assistive technology you're using. We respond within five business days and prioritize barriers that block municipal staff from using the playbooks or triage during a live incident.
