We are seeking contributing authors. Are you a journalist? Or, are you someone who is committed to the community, perhaps with your own blog? If so, we’d love to hear from you. The Wildfire Alliance environment is about community. Including content relative to your local neighborhood is what will keep the Wildfire Alliance environment unique and evolving. Let us know about emergencies that took place in your neighborhood. Tell us about safety improvements, or things that need to be improved. If you’re a teacher, tell us how your class developed life-safety awareness and skills during the course of the year. Regardless of the orientation, we’re very interested in hearing how you’d like to contribute. Please let us know by emailing us: info@mysafela.org

Here is our Internet Accessibility Statement – This site has been tested in a range of browsers and with screen reader software. The Wildfire Alliance uses semantic markup to assist screen reader users among others — site, page and block headings use navigation blocks are lists and so on. These tags are invisible to the site visitor. The Wildfire Alliance complies with the World Wide Web Consortium’s level 1, most of level 2 and some level 3. Through these guidelines we aim to comply with local laws regarding access to those with disabilities. We are currently working to improve the accessibility and usability of the Wildfire Alliance website. At present there are still some tables used for layout, but in general presentation (using style sheets) is separated from content. We welcome feedback, particularly reports of any inaccessible content. Please see our contact page for additional information. At present we don’t specify access keys, but we intend to implement them for a future release of the Wildfire Alliance. There is a link before each side block, which allows screen reader users to skip the block. Note, the link is hidden from graphical browsers. Many links have title attributes that describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article). If a link has an access key this will be announced in the link title. Whenever possible, links are written to make sense out of context. There are no javascript: pseudo-links. All images use the alt attribute to provide alternate text where appropriate; images that are purely decorative contain a null alt attribute. Images, such as maps, that present complex information have a longdesc attribute linking them to a text description of the image content. The Wildfire Alliance is built using valid XHTML for markup and uses CSS for presentation.
