We are committed to making our website inclusive and accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We have our own disabilities. However, many factors are beyond our control due to the limitations of the platforms, devices, and browsers we rely on.

• Our site is built using GoDaddy’s website builder, which restricts our ability to customize fonts, layouts, and accessibility features. For example, we primarily use the largest font size available to help support viewers with limited vision—including ourselves—but we cannot adjust font families, contrast settings, or other visual elements beyond what GoDaddy allows. These limitations are not a lack of effort on our part, but a reflection of the platform’s constraints. 
• We do not have the resources for custom engineering, but we make every effort to use accessible plugins, readable layouts, and clear language across all pages.
• We regularly review our site for accessibility barriers and update content to improve readability, navigation, and clarity.
• We prioritize accessibility in our outreach materials, flyers, and emergency preparedness resources—especially for users with visual, hearing, mobility, and cognitive challenges.
• We consult accessibility guidelines when selecting tools and formats, and we welcome feedback from users who encounter issues.

Let’s be clear: the real barriers are built by platform providers, device manufacturers, and browser developers.   In 2025, basic content like text, photos, and YouTube videos should not be inaccessible—but they often are, due to inconsistent standards, limited design tools, and lack of accountability from tech companies. Creators like us are blamed for limitations we didn’t build, while disabled users are left out of the conversation entirely.

We urge these companies to expand their accessibility options and meet evolving legal standards so that small businesses and community advocates can better serve all users. 

If you experience an accessibility barrier, please contact us through our Facebook page and include:

• A link to the page you're having trouble with 
• A brief description of the issue

We will do our best to address it promptly and incorporate improvements where possible.
