Hazardpresent25/25
Final assessment
Unanimous: the hazard is named in the title, "Home Invasion", backed by a forced front door and stolen electronics.
What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

Locationpresent25/25
Final assessment
All 25 reads find a location: "an off-campus apartment on Packard St." names the street where the break-in happened.
Where the threat is. Saying whether danger is in a specific building, a part of campus, or area-wide lets people judge their own proximity and choose a safe direction. Without a where, a warning is hard to act on precisely.

Guidancepresent25/25
Final assessment
Unanimous: the Remember list gives protective steps to recipients, such as "Keep all exterior doors and windows locked" and keep exterior lights on at night.
The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
Unanimous absent: the alert reports a forced door and stolen electronics but states no harm to people or any severity.
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.
