• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. The location line reads 'Vanguard University, Scott Building', and the encounter is placed near that building.

  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.

  Present, 25 of 25. The alert directs readers: 'Please Contact Campus Safety if this subject is seen on campus.'

  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.

• Impactpresent18/25

  Final assessment

  Present by majority, 18 of 25 read it as present. The subject approached 'in a violent manner' and was deterred only by a displayed taser, conveying risk of physical harm; dissenters called this past narrative rather than stated consequence.

  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.
