Accessibility statement

Effective date: September 29, 2026

We want everyone to be able to check a date, read the storm pages and buy a report on hailondate.com, including people who use screen readers, keyboards, magnification or voice control.

Our standard: WCAG 2.1 Level AA

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 at Level AA, the standard referenced under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508, and we test against it when we change the site.

What we have done

• A skip link, landmarks (header, navigation, main, footer) and one logical heading outline on every page.
• A visible focus outline on every link, button and field, and a menu that opens and closes from the keyboard.
• A text label on every form field; the address suggestions can be chosen with the arrow and Enter keys.
• Text colors that meet the AA contrast ratios against the dark background.
• Hail sizes are never shown by color alone: every size is printed as a number, and map markers also change size.
• Every map has the same information in a table on the same page, and every chart prints its values.
• The radar sweep animation stops if your system asks for reduced motion.
• Pages reflow at small widths and when zoomed.

Known limitations

The maps are drawings and do not have a street layer; the tables beside them carry the same data as text. The PDF report is generated automatically and is not a tagged PDF; if you need your report in another format, such as an accessible HTML or plain-text version, email us and we will send one.

Report a problem

If something on the site is hard to use, email [email protected] with the page address and what happened. We aim to reply within 5 business days and to fix the problem or give you another way to get the information.
