picture of wheel chair - Accessbility Statement Accessibility Statement

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is committed to providing access to our web pages for individuals with disabilities, both members of the public and Federal employees.

To meet this commitment, we will comply with the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 508 requires that individuals with disabilities, who are members of the public seeking information or services from us, have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to that provided to the public who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on us. Section 508 also requires us to ensure that Federal employees with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access to and use of information and data by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on us.

If you use assistive technology (such as a Braille reader, a screen reader, TTY, etc.) and the format of any material on our web sites interfere with your ability to access the information, please contact trainwebmaster@dhs.gov for assistance. To enable us to respond in a manner that will be of most help to you, please indicate:

  • the nature of the accessibility problem,
  • your preferred format (e.g., electronic format (Word, ASCII, etc.), standard print, large print, etc.),
  • the web address of the requested material, and
    your full contact information so we can reach you if questions arise while fulfilling your request.

Accessibility of Adobe PDF Files

Adobe provides online conversion tools to help visually disabled users read PDF documents. They convert PDF documents into either HTML or ASCII text, which can then be read by a number of common screen reader programs.

Visit http://access.adobe.com/ for more information on how to make .pdf files more accessible to people with disabilities.
