• Impactabsent7/25

  Final assessment

  Majority absent (18 of 25): naming hate crime intimidation without body severity language fails impact. Minority treat danger wording in tips or Clery serious or continuous threat boilerplate as impact.

  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.
