  • Guidancepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 present. Guidance is the instruction "closed".

  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 absent. No consequence or severity language appears beyond naming a hazard.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. absent: No consequence or severity language appears beyond naming a hazard.
    2. absent: Impact is absent: the text does not say what the threat could do.
