Known limitations for wscadv.org:
- Images missing alternative text. Some images—particularly on old news and events content—may not have alternative text. We have trained site editors to write alternative text and highlight images missing alternative text to logged-in site editors. Please report issues to us so we can fix them!

- Third-party embeds. Embedded videos and social media from external sources such as YouTube may not be fully accessible or missing alternative text because that code is outside our direct control. Please contact us about alternative means of accessing this information.
