  • Impactpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    All 25 reads agree impact is present in this GTPD Clery Act Safety Alert.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path.

Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
