The Imperial County Public Health Department is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience for all website users. We strive to ensure that everyone can access our programs, services, and information, regardless of ability or access needs. 

This website aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA and align with applicable accessibility standards, including Section 508 requirements. At this time, the site is partially conformant, meaning some content may not fully meet accessibility standards. We are actively working to improve accessibility across all areas of the site. 

We take the following steps to support accessibility:

• Accessibility is integrated in our internal policies and development practices 

• Responsibility for accessibility is clearly assigned within our team 

• We periodically conduct automated and manual accessibility checks to identify regressions and areas for improvement 

Accessibility of this website relies on the following technologies to function properly:

• HTML 

• WAI-ARIA 

• CSS 

• JavaScript

These technologies are essential to support accessibility and compatibility with assistive technologies.

Accessibility for this website was assessed through self-evaluation using automated tools and manual review.

• Design Practices: We follow general best practices to support accessibility throughout the site 
• Automated Checks: We use automated testing tools to review all navigable pages for common accessibility issues 
• Manual Checks: We supplement automated testing with manual reviews, including keyboard-only navigation and basic screen-reader testing

While we strive to make the site accessible, some issues may still exist. Certain third-party content, such as plugins, dashboards, or PDF documents, may not yet be fully accessible. We are actively working to improve these areas and address these limitations.

As part of these ongoing efforts, our communications team is strengthening its accessibility expertise through training and by pursuing professional credentials from the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP), supporting the development of accessible content and meaningful access for all users.

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of this website. If you experience an accessibility issue or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us so we can assist and continue to enhance accessibility.
