Alerts & Advisories

User Question: How would I know it’s urgent?

Alerts and advisories are used to highlight key content to site users for a range of reasons; for example, time-sensitive content, new content, or targeted personalisation. Depending on the context the alert may take over the site, or just gently nudge users and be easily dismissed.

CivilDefence.govt.nz — Emergency Banner

Civil Defence is a critical channel for New Zealand and provides critical information during an emergency. The Civil Defence site pulls emergencies from around the regions and provides up to date information. The rest of the site is stripped back to its essentials to help loading times and other pages show a link back to the homepage which contains the critical information.

CERT NZ — Advisories

CERT NZ is responsible for helping New Zealanders through Cyber Emergencies. Often these emergencies affect a wide range of people, so CERT’s Advisories provide information to both technical and non-technical audiences, send an email notification to their subscribers and a site-wide banner to ensure that their guidance is easily accessible.
