Guidanceabsent0/25
Final assessment
Absent: Guidance not satisfied in ASU Clery Timely Warning.
The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
Absent: Impact not satisfied in ASU Clery Timely Warning.
What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
