1. Our Commitment
U.S.A. Disaster Site Worker Services ("USADSWS") is committed to providing a website that is reasonably accessible and usable by individuals with different abilities, technologies and methods of accessing online information.
We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process and that websites, technologies, standards and user needs continue to evolve.
Our goal is to maintain and improve the usability of USADSWS.org by considering recognized web accessibility principles when developing, reviewing and updating website content and functionality.
2. Accessibility Practices
Where reasonably practical, our website design and maintenance efforts may include consideration of accessibility features such as:
- Clear page structure and headings
- Readable text and reasonable contrast
- Responsive layouts for desktop and mobile devices
- Descriptive page titles
- Alternative text for meaningful images where appropriate
- Keyboard-accessible website functions where practicable
- Clearly identified links and buttons
- Form labels associated with form fields
- Logical navigation and content organization
- Content that can adapt to different screen sizes
3. Accessibility Standards
In our accessibility efforts, we may reference recognized accessibility principles and guidance, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), as a resource for improving website usability.
Reference to WCAG or other accessibility guidance should not be interpreted as a representation that every page, feature, document or third-party component has been independently audited or formally certified as conforming to a particular accessibility level.
4. Ongoing Improvements
USADSWS may periodically review and modify website content, navigation, forms, layouts and other features as part of our continuing effort to improve usability and accessibility.
Because website technology and content may change over time, accessibility improvements may be implemented as issues are identified or as website components are updated.
5. Forms and Online Communications
Our website includes forms that may be used for general inquiries, vendor pre-qualification and employment interest.
We attempt to structure these forms with understandable labels, instructions and fields. If you experience difficulty using an online form, you may contact us using the telephone number or email address provided on this page.
6. Third-Party Content and Services
The USADSWS website may contain links to or interact with third-party websites, hosting services, email systems, social media platforms or other external technologies.
USADSWS does not control the accessibility features, technologies or policies of independent third parties. Accessibility concerns involving an external website or platform may need to be addressed directly with the applicable third-party provider.
7. Documents and Other Content
Certain documents, archived materials, images or other content may present accessibility limitations depending on their original format or the technology being used to access them.
If you have difficulty accessing information made available through our website, please contact us and identify the information or page you are attempting to access.
