Hazard Manager technical specifications

Hazard Manager is designed to run on all commonly used modern browsers and hardware. Whilst the Met Office has tested this application extensively, it is not possible to test on all combinations of hardware and software and we must therefore rely on the user to ensure that any issues with the application are not as a result of local hardware, software or communication issues.

The Met Office will continue to develop Hazard Manager, adding new features and ensuring that the application remains current and aligned to the following browser support standards.

The Met Office Hazard Manager web application has been developed to comply with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) AA Accessibility standards. An Accessibility Statement is available to view within the application.

We have tested our web application using the browsers given in the list below.

Support definitions

  • All content MUST be readable and usable, and all functionality MUST work
  • Variations to presentation of content MUST be minimised
  • Where CSS layout is used, the CSS MUST be rendered by supported web browsers, so that a fully-styled version of the page is presented to the user
