The upgrade and downgrade templates that existed within the Fire OSOM have been replaced with drag and drop statements.
It will still be relevant for anyone issuing a notification (regardless of hazard) to consider how to improve community and emergency broadcaster understanding of a changing situation and to reduce confusion that can occur when multiple warnings have been issued for the same event or events in a similar area.
Drag and drop statements will include prompts for sentences that can be used to explain an escalating (or de-escalating) situation, where multiple hazards are occurring in close proximity, or where an incident might be long running.
You can find information on updating warnings and changing warning levels here.
