You can activate the emergency popup feature on your website, if you need to send an emergency notification, for example, for a snow day school closure. This feature will switch on a simple, black-and-white message box when a visitor lands on the homepage of your website:
This option can only be switched on by a website Administrator.
If you also have a custom popup or enhanced popup features, they should be disabled so that only one option is live on the site.
