Dear Social Media Community,

RogueNZL requested a banner to use when posting about severe weather conditions.
We were happy to help and created this asset:Severe Weather - Post.png
*This is the version for a post. Find the Story version in the Social Media Hub

We’d like to create a few more banners you can post with other alerts, as well.
Please answer the poll attached to let us know which alert banners would be most useful for you.
You can choose as many options as you’d like.
We’ll keep this poll open for 10 days.

Also, if you’d like a translated version of this banner, please leave a comment below with the text (“weather update”) in your language.

Thanks and we hope you never have to use these banners… :shock:

Have a great day,
Anat, on behalf of the Waze Communities team.

Great idea!

​​​​​​Blizzard / Snowstorm should be an option :cold_face:

I would like to see something for demonstrations resulting in road blocks.
We got plenty of those events in Germany (anti train station /anti autobahn /pro bicycle /anti war / anti nuclear energy / pro climate emergency /etc.) :?

تحديث عن حالة الطقس
Translation for arabic please

Thanks for creating this. My idea behind this was to be able to create social media posts encouraging Wazers to drive carefully in bad weather, turn headlights on, weather updates, report hazards in Waze, etc.

​​​​Is this available in English?

Hi!

  • Translations to Arabic and German are ready for you here - please let me know if it’s OK :slight_smile:
  • More Alert Banners - a) Let’s take a few more days before we review the Poll’s results. b) Additional suggestions you’ve made in the comments: ​​​​​​Blizzard / Snowstorm + Demonstrations - if you’d like to “support” those, please upvote the comment where is was suggested in this thread.
  • Twitter account - WazeBrasil - Checking :slight_smile:

Thanks!

For the case of fire, which are very specific cases, it would be very useful.
suggestion: slide

I checked the folder twice on different browsers, can’t see anything, the folder is empty :confused:

Italian: aggiornamento meteo / allerta meteo (weather alert, if you want to keep it shorter)

Thanks!

All folders should be accessible now - Please have a look and let me know if it works for you.
I created the Italian translation and added it to the folder as well.

I have to agree to Thalibahn. A demonstration banner would be helpful.

Hi :slight_smile:

We got the assets in Portuguese and am checking about the possibility of localizing them.

Will keep you posted!

Hi everyone,

Thank you for this productive discussion!

It’s been 10 days since we shared the Weather Update banner and asked you which banners would be most helpful for you.

Here are the poll results:

  • Flood - 15 votes
  • Storm - 14 votes
  • Fire - 12 votes

Through the comments:
Demonstration - 2 votes
Landslide - 1 vote
Roadblocks - 1 vote

I suggest we first create the top 3 banners - Flood, Storm and Fire.
If you agree and see yourself using these banners, please Thank this comment.
If this comment gets more than 10 Thanks’, I’ll understand you’re on board and more forward with it :smiley:

We can regroup about the other 3 banners (Demonstration, Landslide, and Roadblocks) once we have this second batch ready.

Thanks :geek:

Hi,
What about the more generic option, just “storm”?
Will it cover the other types you mentioned - “blizzard” / “snow storm”?

Thanks!

Thank everyone!
We’ll now move forward with creating alert banners for Flood, Storm and Fire.

I’ll share those once they’re ready :slight_smile:

Have a great day.

Hi all,

I have translated the twitter post mentioned earlier into English for all to use. Can be downloaded from here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Qf-RwQPtJ3R4zufPVpUxkiNvO5swOUJC?usp=sharing

Staff - Could we please have this file uploaded to the Waze Google Drive folder?

Sorry but I can only offer the asset in English. Hopefully it is of some use.

Cheers!

Woohoo! Happy to share the new banners for Fire, Flood and Storm are now available here, in the Social Media Hub.

May you never have to use them <3
but in case you do, please share a link so we’ll see what they look like in real life.

If you’d like a translation to your language, please share the text in a comment below (please note, it’ll take a little longer than last time).

Thanks,
