Hazard notifications routinely occur as part of the identification or management of a hazard. It is argued that a series of such notifications -a hazard sequence -may affect public responses to future notifications about that hazard and also that hazard sequences can help explain patterns of risk amplification, particularly how a risk becomes normalised. Exploration of the hazard sequence also means exploring hazard templates: frameworks through which people make sense of risk information
