Use an alert to notify the public about a change to a City service. For example, a facility closure, a suspended program, the outage of an online application.
Only one alert per page.
Hyperlinks may be included as part of the alert text if the change is complex and requires a separate linked page with extensive details. Detail alert pages will be hidden from navigation and only linked to from the alert message.
Alerts are limited to text, necessary hyperlinks and should not include lists, bolding, italics, headings or inline images.
Alert copy must be no more than 250 characters.
Alerts should not be used as an alternative to a highlight.
Two alert messages are allowed within the single alert field with a line break in between.
Use the built-in alert stop time to automatically remove the alert at a specific time and date.
