Replaced by the burrow and alert functionality, I believe.

Yep..

burro[w], paint it where you want the dwarfs to go in emergency.

[m]ilitary, [a]lerts, [c]reate... name it something fun.

Assign your burrow to that alert and when the bad guys come, go to military and set the civilians to that alert/burrow by hitting enter on the alert you made.

(I may have missed a step...)  The Wiki might have better instructions.

"Having faith" that the bridge will not fall, implies that the bridge itself isn't that trustworthy. It's not that different from "I pray that the bridge will hold my weight."

You got it basically right, but you need to add the [civ] flag to it to make your civilians flee there.

Alternatively, just use the first, already-defined alert. Create an indoors burrow, and when you want your civilians indoors, go M for military, A for alerts, scroll right twice, find the burrow in the list (if you have multiple burrows), and hit enter.
