New guide on including accessible social media content within emergency communications

The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) has a new guide, “Integrating Accessible Social Media Content within Emergency Communications.” It provides local areas, Public Information Officers, Crisis Communication Specialists, and emergency managers with the information needed to create and post accessible social media content that can be accessed using assistive devices such as screen readers. This document also includes resources, tools, and training courses emergency managers can use to help create accessible electronic Microsoft documents, PDFs, and forms.
