public safety announcements
Official warning messages
Public safety announcements are official messages warning the public about dangers or emergencies—severe weather, missing children, health hazards, or criminal threats.
They interrupt regular broadcasts or appear on highway signs: A public safety announcement advised residents to shelter in place.
The term overlaps with public service announcements, though the latter covers broader civic messaging beyond immediate safety concerns.
