An incident notice template is used, but senders leave the "actions required of you" field blank and only describe what failed. What improvement best strengthens the message?

Short Explanation
"Something broke" without "here’s what you do" is a weather report with no umbrella tip. People freeze or invent their own plan. Spell out the action required so the audience can move.
Full Explanation
Risk and incident communications should pair situational awareness with clear calls to action for each audience. Describing an event without stating required behaviors leaves recipients unsure whether to evacuate, shelter, escalate, or continue normal work. Templates that include an "actions required" field encourage completeness, but only if staff actually complete them. Actionable content reduces ambiguity and supports consistent response.
