EMAIL OF THE DAY

“I build websites for a living. FEMA and all government websites must abide by the following Section 508 accessibility guidelines. The law says that all government sites must abide by the World Wide Web Consortium guidelines for accessibility. The Consortium has recently addressed the issue of websites that are accessible to only a single browser and have said that this does not comport with the law. You can read it here. So, as of this August 22 ruling, FEMA is actually breaking the law with their website. Admittedly, the ruling has only been out for a few weeks, and it is reasonable to give people an adjustment time. But this is probably a problem they could fix faster than they were able to get their asses to New Orleans.”
