    Final assessment

    The notice names a burglary but does not state a consequence or 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.

    4. absent: Stay out of the canyon is guidance, not an impact statement.

    20. absent: The body never says the situation was dangerous or injurious.
    21. absent: Absent vote rests on the lack of consequence wording.

    23. absent: Nothing undoes the absence of a harm or severity statement.
    24. absent: I quote no impact span because none exists, so the vote is absent.
