"Severity" is not a property of the trap itself, but something you set in 
trapd.conf.  The format variables allow you to reference the parts of the 
incoming trap, and since severity is not one of them, there is no format 
for it.   The man page does tell you what the numeric values are that 
trapd uses for severity and how they map:
0       Cleared
1       Indeterminate
2       Warning
3       Minor
4       Critical
5       Major

So you decide what to pass to your script, either the numeric value or the 
text value of the severity which you yourself set when you configured the 
trap.
If it were a "Critical" trap then you have the choice to pass it as
/usr/OV/netscripts/fwscript.sh "$1" "$e" "$G" "$S" "$A" 4
or
/usr/OV/netscripts/fwscript.sh "$1" "$e" "$G" "$S" "$A" Critical
