Thanks, everybody!  Each of your suggestions seems right for 
a specific situation.  But I think something is still needed to cover 
all situations in which the imminent danger is present, without the need 
(or maybe the capability) to specify the details.  That's why most 
languages have expressions like "watch out!" or "be careful!"
