    be aware of

    We call on people to be aware of how severe the situation is and do something about it.

    Shall I have the preposition"of" in front of a "how"-clause?

    Thanks!

    You shall.
    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

    You should.

    This is more natural to me.
