FEMA flood management meetings and open house are Tuesday

It always bugs the Hell out of me when the government sends out official notices to the public in the form of Adobe PDF format. It’s just gets in the way of copy and paste and generally wastes my time. Still, this is all boilerplate stuff. Basically, there is a meeting with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Federal Emergency Management Agency from 2-4 p.m. Tuesday, July 7, at the Peoria Public Library Auditorium. A “flood risk” open house will follow from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

It might be worthwhile to attend. I can think of all sorts of wonderful questions to ask.

    I think in the future any e-mails I send to Billy will be PDFs. Just to irritate him….

    Why can’t you copy and paste? I have a wordpress site and I copy and paste from .pdf all the time.

    The federal agency I work for requires all announcements/bulletins to be sent as PDFs to comply w/the Rehabilitation Act so people with disabilities can still “read” the text.

    My agency generally sends the announcement in an email with a PDF attached and the following disclaimer:

    “Note: The preceding text mirrors the attachment and is provided to ensure 508 compliance. “
