• Impactpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous present: one person was found shot and taken by ambulance is explicit realized harm severity beyond hazard naming.

  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.
