Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
25 of 25 passes marked Impact absent. It lists the weapon as none and does not state an injury or other harm.
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.
