  Final assessment

  All 25 agree (1): Alert cites "Seattle Fire Department units" as the agency responding to the report.

  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.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  All 25 agree (0): Beyond naming the gas smell, no injuries, evacuations, or other severity details are given.

  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.
