About health message priority levels

The creator of a health message assigns one of the following priority levels to the health message, based on priority level criteria:

• Alert:

  An "Alert" priority level indicates the health message has the highest level of importance and warrants immediate action or attention by public health officials.

• Advisory:

  An "Advisory" priority level indicates the health message provides important information for a specific incident or situation, which may not require immediate action.

• Update:

  An "Update" priority level indicates the health message provides updated information regarding an incident or situation, which is unlikely to require immediate action.

• Info:

  An "Info" priority level indicates the health message provides only system-related information.
