  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. The "REBALERT:" prefix brands the message, and the "https://olemiss.edu/emergency/" link plus "#RebAware" confirm the university as sender.

  Who is sending the alert and who is responding. People act faster on a message from a clearly identifiable, credible sender, such as a named department, the police, or a branded alert system, than on an anonymous notice. A branded signature counts.

• Hazardpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, unanimous at 25 of 25, because "A TORNADO WARNING has been issued" names the hazard in capitals and in official weather terminology.

  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

  Present, 25 of 25: the warning is issued "for Oxford", naming the town where the university sits.

  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

  Present, 25 of 25 and the strongest guidance in this set: "Seek Shelter Immediately!" followed by "lowest floor of building", "interior room" and "no windows".

• Timepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25, though on soft cues rather than a clock: "has been issued" marks the warning as current and "Immediately" sets the timeframe for acting.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent, 25 of 25. The detailed shelter steps imply serious danger, but the alert never states deadly winds, debris or any explicit consequence.

  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.
