• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  All 25 reads find Impact absent: phone snatching names the crime without injury, danger, or other severity.

  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.
