CHALLENGE 6

Potential Danger Alert

Scenario

 It’s Monday. A user has just gotten into their car to drive to work. They plug their phone into the car and start driving.

Challenge

How would you let the user know there’s a fire happening in a nearby town that is causing road closures? The effect on their commute is unknown, but there is a definite danger if the fire gets closer. How do you communicate this to them? When? Write it.

Headline: 30 characters max
Body: 45 characters max

Goal

Make the user aware of the situation so they can react accordingly.

Considerations

While we need to get the user’s attention, I do not believe in being an alarmist. I think there is a way to communicate urgency without scaring someone.

When this is shown depends on who is sending the notification: A navigation app? A local government app? A fire department app?
