  Final assessment

  Unanimous: each message carries the 'MU Alert' tag and names Columbia police and CPD.

  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

  All 25 reads agree the hazard is specific: a 'Robbery just occurred'.

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous: it names 'South Providence Medical Clinic' and later 'downtown Columbia'.

  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.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  All 25 reads find no impact: the robbery is named but no injury, weapon, or severity is stated.

  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.
