Upper Missouri District Health Unit is committed to
ensuring that individuals with disabilities have equitable access to our
information and services, as mandated by ND Century
Code, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504, and
Title II. This includes all digital content—such as webpages, documents, forms,
and multimedia—available via our public platforms.
We strive to meet accessibility standards, including
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as well as Web
Accessibility Initiative – Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA).
Our state agencies continuously evaluate their digital content in an effort to
maintain ADA compliance, following industry best practices that help ensure
content is:
-
Perceivable:
Content
must be easy for people to see, hear, or otherwise sense.
-
Operable:
People
must be able to use websites and tools in different ways, such as by
keyboard or assistive technology.
-
Understandable:
Information
and instructions should be clear and easy for everyone to follow.
-
Robust:
Content
should work well with modern technology and continue to work with future
tools and assistive devices.
By adhering to these standards, our agencies affirm
their commitment to creating an inclusive digital environment, one in
which every citizen can independently access, understand, and benefit from
the information and services our state provides.
