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

Points to keep in mind

1. Need to convey the urgency of the situation with attention grabbing headline.
2. To be delivered at apt time so the user can make a well thought decision.
3. Tone should be empathetic and informative.

What I came up with

Popup alert

1. Use of icon and a straightforward title to grab attention of the user.
2. A brief explanation about the issue.
3. Provided an alternate solution to the user, to solve their pain point.
