Advertising Policy

Last updated: October 19, 2026

Principles

• Advertising never influences editorial content, data display or severity information.
• Ads are visually distinct from content and never imitate alerts, warnings or emergency buttons.
• No deceptive formats: no fake download buttons, no auto-playing audio, no full-page interstitials over live safety information.
• Ad density is limited to protect readability, page speed and Core Web Vitals.

Placements

Where ads are enabled, they may appear in clearly bounded slots: below the header, between content sections, and in sidebars — never inside the live alert feed, map popups or safety-guide checklists.

Consent

Where required by law, personalized advertising is only served after consent via a consent-management banner. See the cookie policy.

Sponsored content

Any sponsored content would be clearly labelled "Sponsored". We do not currently publish sponsored content.
