  1. If you are using an image as an aid to sighted people, then you DEFINITELY need to transcribe the text and/or describe it for low vision/blind folks.

    Why would you think that sighted people need it but LV/blind folks do not unless it's purely decoration without any significance at all?

    But far too many people either completely skip alt text or just put in some short summary or caption, which gives less information than you're giving to sighted folks. It really communicates what you think of disabled people and it's not good.

    “How can we better understand the dynamic feedbacks between the environment and society?
    Socio-hydrology models are often built around the assumption that cities act as homogeneous entities, without capturing the variable capacity of communities with different underlying socioeconomic characteristics to respond to and recover from disasters.
    In this study, [the authors] developed a disaggregated approach to model community-specific adaptive capacity, allowing [them] to examine how inequalities influence flood recovery and resilience. This framework provide[d] a basis for exploring hypotheses about the relationships between growth, inequality, and community resilience in the face of flood hazards.
    [Their] results highlighted] the importance of considering community-level dynamics when developing flood mitigation and disaster response strategies that balance economic growth with equity. Many challenges remain in applying socio-hydrology models to real-world settings, but this work takes a step toward incorporating more realistic representations of socioeconomic inequality into human–water systems while preserving the generality and flexibility that make conceptual models useful…”
