    Final assessment

    A 22 to 3 majority finds I absent: It reports no physical injuries and adds no consequence or severity language beyond the offense name. 3 reads mark it present.

    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.
