  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25: Vance, Granville, Wake and Durham counties are listed, along with Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and marked stretches of Interstates 85, 40 and 540.

  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.

• Guidancepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25: two directives appear, "move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building" and "Seek shelter in a sturdy structure until the storm has passed".

  The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25: consequences are stated plainly, from "IMPACT...Expect damage to roofs, siding, and trees" to flying debris that "can be deadly".

  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.
