  Final assessment

• Impactpresent17/25

  Final assessment

  Present on a split (17 of 25). The notice states items were taken from unlocked residence hall rooms, a stated harm of property loss; dissenters viewed completed minor theft as posing no danger to people.

  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.
