Accessibility

Last updated August 12, 2026

NCHurricane.com aims to provide a usable weather experience for people with disabilities and is working toward conformance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

Current accessibility features

• A skip link and semantic main-content target on site pages.
• Keyboard-operable navigation, submenus, accordions, tab groups, and homepage weather markers.
• Programmatic expanded and selected states for interactive controls.
• Text alternatives for weather imagery and icon treatment that avoids duplicate announcements.
• Responsive layouts and minimum touch-target sizing for primary controls.
• Visible focus treatment and Escape-key support for open navigation.

Known limitations

Some maps, charts, radar loops, satellite products, and third-party weather graphics are inherently visual. The site provides surrounding labels and text products where practical, but not every detail in those external images has an equivalent text description. Dynamic public-weather data may also contain terminology or formatting controlled by the source agency.
