• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous present: it places the assault at the "300 block of W. Boyd St.", a specific street location.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Unanimous absent: the alert only offers a link for more information and gives no protective instruction to recipients.

  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.

• Impactpresent14/25

  Final assessment

  A narrow majority (14 of 25) finds Impact present because the label "Critical" signals the seriousness of the assault; a sizable minority treated "Critical" as a priority label that states no 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.
