  Final assessment

  A 14 to 11 majority finds I absent: It reports nothing taken and no physical injuries, without conveying potential harm or how serious the attack was for others. 11 reads mark it present.

  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.
