CAP Event Terms List Q1:
There are widely used terms with naming conventions that conflict. For example, Warning is used for some events and not for others in the actual term. Or Severe Thunderstorm when the actual event is a Thunderstorm, which may or may not be severe, or Extreme Fire Danger versus just Fire Danger. How do we reconcile this inconsistent naming?

Severity and certainty should be removed from the event term to make the list manageably short. The term “warning” is not an event, and should not be used in the event term.
