  Final assessment

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25: coverage is confined in the text to "parts of Johnson Co.", identifying the warned area by name.

  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.

• Impactpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25: "tennis ball sized hail" is a vivid, concrete severity image that conveys the damaging potential rather than just naming a storm.

  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.
