# Notices

Currently, we support the following types of notices for status communications to your stakeholders:

## Incidents

Create an incident notice to report an incident and notify your stakeholders in real-time. Incidents can impact different services with different severities at once.

Your subscribers will get automatically notified about them according to their subscription settings. For example, they might opt to receive notifications about incidents affecting their API in Asia. In this case, an incident notice affecting your API in Europe won't notify them.

## Maintenance

Use maintenance notices to communicate about planned and essential maintenance events. Similarly to incidents, a maintenance can affect one or more services in specific regions.
