• Hazardpresent24/25

  Final assessment

  Near-unanimous present: fire is named in Fire/Police Activity. One read treated the phrase as mere response posture, but fire is a specific hazard.

  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

  Unanimous agreement that Water Filtration Plant at 585 McCormick Rd is a concrete 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.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous absent: no consequence or severity language beyond the hazard name and avoid guidance.

  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.
