• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  I 0/25. Temporary traffic disruptions is the hazard name, and no injury, dangerous, or serious-threat clause is added.

  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.
