Declaration on accessibility
The Austrian Civil Protection Association endeavors to ensure that its website www.zivilschutz.at complies with the Federal Act on Barrier-free Access to Websites and Mobile Applications of the Federal Government (Web-Zugänglichkeits-Gesetz – WZG) BGBl. I. Nr. 59/2019 idgF, barrier-free accessibility.
This declaration on accessibility applies to the website www.zivilschutz.at and the subdomains vorarlberg.zivilschutz.at.
Status of compatibility with the requirements
This website is partially compatible with conformance level AA of the “Richtlinien für barrierefreie Webinhalte – WCAG 2.1” or with the applicable European Standard EN 301 549 V3.2.1 (2021-03) according to Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council due to the following incompatibilities.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is not barrier-free for the following reasons:
a. Incompatibility with the accessibility regulations
The map of Austria on the Association page cannot be operated using the keyboard. The contact information of the federal state associations is therefore provided on a separate page as an alternative. This is linked directly above the display.
b. Disproportionate burden
The PDFs provided in the download area of the website are to be seen as additional content. The brochures, folders etc. are optimized for printing and are not fully accessible.

Enforcement proceedings
If you do not receive a satisfactory response from the above contact option, you can submit a complaint to the Complaints Office of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG). The FFG accepts complaints electronically via the complaints office contact form.
The complaints are examined by the FFG to determine whether they relate to violations of the provisions of the Web Accessibility Act, in particular deficiencies in compliance with the accessibility requirements, by the federal government or an institution attributable to it.
If the complaint is justified, the FFG must make recommendations for action to the federal government or the legal entities concerned and propose measures to remedy the deficiencies.
