Accessibility statement

Last updated: 12 November 2026

We want everyone to be able to use Israel Quakes, including people with disabilities. The site was built to meet Israeli Standard 5568 at level AA, which follows WCAG 2.0, in line with the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 2013. No accessibility overlay widget is used; accessibility is built into the code.

What was done

• Hebrew, English and Russian, with correct language and direction on every page.
• Full keyboard use, a visible focus outline and a skip link.
• Colour contrast at level AA in light and dark mode; information is never shown by colour alone.
• The intensity map has a full text alternative: a table of localities with estimated intensity and reports.
• Every intensity picture in the report form has a text label.
• Works at 200% text size and at a width of 320 pixels without horizontal scrolling.
• No flashing and no automatic sound.

How it was checked

Automatic checks with axe-core on every page, in Hebrew, English and Russian, in light and dark mode, at widths of 360, 390, 768 and 1280 pixels, plus keyboard checks. Last check: 12 November 2026.

Known limitations

• The map itself (zooming, panning) is visual; all its information is in the table under it.
• The bot check (Cloudflare Turnstile) is an outside component; if it causes difficulty, please write to us and we will add your report by hand.
