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 Body: 45 characters — Image made by the authorin Figma

On Day 6 of 15 Days of UX Writing Challenge, I wrote a notification to warn a car driver of fires in a nearby town that could impact their journey.
