Message elements

How the first alert is built

To check this alert, SuperGrok Heavy 4.5 (an AI) read it in full 25 separate times, independently. Each read decided whether the message answers each of the six questions and gave a short reason. A final reviewer then weighed all 25 and wrote the plain-English verdict you see when you open a row. The score (for example 22/25) is how many reads agreed; the 25 individual reads are tucked underneath if you want to check them.

  • Sourceabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    FAMU appears only inside the campus location phrase. No FAMU Alert brand, agency, or sender tag is in the body. Majority 0/25 Same truncated stem on the Jul10 product.

    Who is sending the alert and who is responding. People act faster on a message from a clearly identifiable, credible sender, such as a named department, the police, or a branded alert system, than on an anonymous notice. A branded signature counts.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. absent: No branded FAMU Alert tag or agency names the sender; FAMU appears only inside the campus location phrase (Jul10 product, pass 1).
    2. absent: The issuing authority is not identified as a source signature, only as part of FAMU Main Campus (Jul10 product, pass 2).
    3. absent: Nothing in the body says who is transmitting the warning; there is no FAMU Alert or police byline (Jul10 product, pass 3).
    4. absent: Source is absent because the university name is used as a place, not as a sender brand (Jul10 product, pass 4).
    5. absent: I do not count a sender here: no RAVE, Everbridge, or FAMU Alert label is spoken in the text (Jul10 product, pass 5).
    6. absent: The message never says we are FAMU Alert or Emergency Management; it only locates the campus (Jul10 product, pass 6).
    7. absent: Sender identity is missing; FAMU Main Campus is a location string, not a source stamp (Jul10 product, pass 7).
    8. absent: No agency, branded opener, or closing signature tells the reader who issued this product (Jul10 product, pass 8).
    9. absent: I code S absent: the text names a campus for the warning, not an alerting office (Jul10 product, pass 9).
    10. absent: There is no DPS, police, or FAMU Alert attribution in the transmitted wording (Jul10 product, pass 10).
    11. absent: Who sent it is not stated; the Everbridge URL is a link, not a named source (Jul10 product, pass 11).
    12. absent: University identity shows up only as the affected Main Campus, which is location not source (Jul10 product, pass 12).
    13. absent: A source element needs a sender tag; this body has none besides the place name FAMU (Jul10 product, pass 13).
    14. absent: I will not treat FAMU Main Campus as a branded signature; it is the warned area (Jul10 product, pass 14).
    15. absent: Issuing office is unspecified; readers are not told FAMU Alert or any other sender (Jul10 product, pass 15).
    16. absent: The product is unsigned; no school alert brand or weather office is named as originator (Jul10 product, pass 16).
    17. absent: Source fails because the only institutional token is embedded in the location clause (Jul10 product, pass 17).
    18. absent: No National Weather Service byline either; the warning is described without a sender (Jul10 product, pass 18).
    19. absent: I find no sender identification of the kind the rubric counts as Source (Jul10 product, pass 19).
    20. absent: Alert origin is implicit at best; the text never names who is talking (Jul10 product, pass 20).
    21. absent: FAMU is not used as we the university alerting you; it is the campus under the warning (Jul10 product, pass 21).
    22. absent: Missing source: no header, no footer brand, no agency sentence (Jul10 product, pass 22).
    23. absent: The handle is not in the body; body-only coding finds no sender (Jul10 product, pass 23).
    24. absent: I score source 0 because the message never identifies the transmitting authority (Jul10 product, pass 24).
    25. absent: Without a FAMU Alert colon tag or named office, source is not present in this text (Jul10 product, pass 25).
  • Hazardpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Severe Thunderstorm Warning names a specific weather hazard. Majority 25/25 Same truncated stem on the Jul10 product.

    What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Hazard is specifically a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, not a generic emergency (Jul10 product, pass 1).
    2. present: The threat named is a severe thunderstorm, which is a concrete weather hazard (Jul10 product, pass 2).
    3. present: It states a Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued, naming the hazard type (Jul10 product, pass 3).

    6. present: A thunderstorm warning of the severe class is a specific named threat (Jul10 product, pass 6).
    7. present: Readers are told the hazard is a severe thunderstorm covering campus (Jul10 product, pass 7).
    8. present: The opening sentence names Severe Thunderstorm Warning as the event (Jul10 product, pass 8).
    9. present: Hazard coding is 1 because thunderstorm is specified, not merely an emergency (Jul10 product, pass 9).
    10. present: What is happening is a severe thunderstorm, stated in the first sentence (Jul10 product, pass 10).
    11. present: The warning type itself is the hazard label: severe thunderstorm (Jul10 product, pass 11).
    12. present: I count H present; severe thunderstorm is a named meteorological threat (Jul10 product, pass 12).
    13. present: The text does not hide behind incident; it says Severe Thunderstorm Warning (Jul10 product, pass 13).
    14. present: Specific threat language is Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the campus (Jul10 product, pass 14).
    15. present: Hazard element is satisfied by naming the severe thunderstorm product (Jul10 product, pass 15).
    16. present: A thunderstorm, described as severe, is the hazard being warned (Jul10 product, pass 16).
    17. present: This is not a vague situation; it is a severe thunderstorm warning (Jul10 product, pass 17).

    21. present: The body leads with the hazard class Severe Thunderstorm Warning (Jul10 product, pass 21).
    22. present: Thunderstorm is the specific weather threat the rubric wants for H (Jul10 product, pass 22).

    24. present: The alert tells you the threat is a severe thunderstorm warning (Jul10 product, pass 24).
    25. present: I read Severe Thunderstorm Warning as a fully specified hazard name (Jul10 product, pass 25).
  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    FAMU Main Campus and surrounding areas is a named campus location. Majority 25/25 Same truncated stem on the Jul10 product.

    Where the threat is. Saying whether danger is in a specific building, a part of campus, or area-wide lets people judge their own proximity and choose a safe direction. Without a where, a warning is hard to act on precisely.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Location is FAMU Main Campus and surrounding areas, a named campus place (Jul10 product, pass 1).
    2. present: It says the warning is for FAMU Main Campus plus surrounding areas (Jul10 product, pass 2).

    8. present: Location language includes Main Campus, a campus-scale named site (Jul10 product, pass 8).
    9. present: Surrounding areas plus FAMU Main Campus give a location of action (Jul10 product, pass 9).
    10. present: I code L 1 because Main Campus is an identifiable campus location (Jul10 product, pass 10).
    11. present: The text locates the warning on FAMU Main Campus (Jul10 product, pass 11).
    12. present: A named campus (Main Campus) satisfies the location element (Jul10 product, pass 12).
    13. present: Place is specified as main campus and the surrounding area (Jul10 product, pass 13).
    14. present: Readers are told where: FAMU Main Campus and nearby surroundings (Jul10 product, pass 14).
    15. present: L holds on Main Campus, which is a named institutional site (Jul10 product, pass 15).
    16. present: The warning footprint is Main Campus and surrounding areas (Jul10 product, pass 16).

  • Guidancepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Remain indoors, seek shelter in a strong enclosed building or hardtop vehicle, and stay away from op are protective instructions. Majority 25/25 Same truncated stem on the Jul10 product.

    The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Guidance is remain indoors, seek shelter in a strong enclosed building or hardtop vehicle, and stay away from op (Jul10 product, pass 1).
    2. present: Please remain indoors is a direct protective instruction to recipients (Jul10 product, pass 2).
    3. present: It tells people outside to seek shelter in a strong enclosed building or a hardtop vehicle right away (Jul10 product, pass 3).
    4. present: Stay away from op, though truncated, is still a stay-away instruction (Jul10 product, pass 4).
    5. present: G is present: remain indoors plus seek shelter are protective actions (Jul10 product, pass 5).
    6. present: Recipients are ordered indoors and into substantial shelter, which is guidance (Jul10 product, pass 6).
    7. present: The body instructs remain indoors and seek shelter, not merely describes responders (Jul10 product, pass 7).
    8. present: Protective action: remain indoors; if outside, get into a strong building or hardtop vehicle (Jul10 product, pass 8).
    9. present: I count G 1 for remain indoors and the shelter-seeking sentence (Jul10 product, pass 9).
    10. present: Seek shelter in a strong enclosed building is an instruction to the reader (Jul10 product, pass 10).
    11. present: Hardtop vehicle is offered as a shelter option, which is guidance to those outside (Jul10 product, pass 11).
    12. present: Remain indoors is the primary action; stay away from op is a second action (Jul10 product, pass 12).
    13. present: The text tells you what to do: stay inside or take vehicle or building shelter (Jul10 product, pass 13).
    14. present: Guidance element is met by indoor remaining and immediate shelter seeking (Jul10 product, pass 14).
    15. present: Please remain indoors is imperative guidance, not a status report (Jul10 product, pass 15).
    16. present: If you find yourself outside, seek shelter is a contingent protective instruction (Jul10 product, pass 16).
    17. present: I score G present because recipients are told to remain indoors and seek shelter (Jul10 product, pass 17).
    18. present: Action language includes remain indoors, seek shelter, and stay away from op (Jul10 product, pass 18).
    19. present: The shelter instruction names a strong enclosed building or hardtop vehicle (Jul10 product, pass 19).
    20. present: G holds: these are things the audience is told to do for protection (Jul10 product, pass 20).
    21. present: Right away attaches to seek shelter, reinforcing the protective instruction (Jul10 product, pass 21).
    22. present: Stay away from op is truncated but still a stay-away guidance fragment (Jul10 product, pass 22).
    23. present: Indoor remaining plus shelter seeking are the two main protective steps (Jul10 product, pass 23).
    24. present: I read three guidance bits: remain indoors, seek shelter, stay away from op (Jul10 product, pass 24).
    25. present: The alert is not descriptive only; it directs indoor sheltering behavior (Jul10 product, pass 25).
  • Timepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Right away is an immediacy cue in the same class as the rubric example immediately. Majority 25/25. Distinct from clock time, still Time present Same truncated stem on the Jul10 product.

    When the message applies. A timestamp, the word now or immediately, or a phrase like until further notice tells the reader whether the danger is current and how quickly to act.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Right away is an immediacy cue, equivalent to the rubric example immediately (Jul10 product, pass 1).
    2. present: The shelter instruction is to act right away, which is a recency or urgency time mark (Jul10 product, pass 2).
    3. present: T is present via right away, a now-like prompt to take shelter (Jul10 product, pass 3).
    4. present: Right away tells recipients the action is immediate, which counts as Time (Jul10 product, pass 4).
    5. present: I treat right away as the same class of cue as immediately in the rubric (Jul10 product, pass 5).
    6. present: There is no clock time, but right away is an explicit recency word (Jul10 product, pass 6).
    7. present: Time element is satisfied by the immediacy of right away on the shelter line (Jul10 product, pass 7).
    8. present: The phrase right away is a when: do this without delay (Jul10 product, pass 8).
    9. present: I code T 1 because right away is a listed-style immediacy marker (Jul10 product, pass 9).
    10. present: Seek shelter right away conveys that the window is now, not later (Jul10 product, pass 10).
    11. present: Has been issued is a present-tense issuance, and right away adds immediacy (Jul10 product, pass 11).
    12. present: The rubric lists immediately; right away is the same timing sense (Jul10 product, pass 12).
    13. present: No date or clock appears, yet right away is still a time-of-action cue (Jul10 product, pass 13).
    14. present: I will not ignore right away as mere style; it is a temporal instruction (Jul10 product, pass 14).
    15. present: T holds on right away even though no clock like 6:40 p.m. is given (Jul10 product, pass 15).
    16. present: Recency is signaled by right away attached to seeking shelter (Jul10 product, pass 16).
    17. present: The action timing is right away, which is when (Jul10 product, pass 17).
    18. present: Immediacy language is present: right away (Jul10 product, pass 18).
    19. present: I mark Time present solely on the right away cue (Jul10 product, pass 19).
    20. present: Without right away this would be T 0; that phrase supplies Time (Jul10 product, pass 20).
    21. present: Right away functions as immediately does in other campus shelter products (Jul10 product, pass 21).
    22. present: The reader is told to shelter right away, a now-oriented time cue (Jul10 product, pass 22).
    23. present: Time is not a clock; it is the immediacy of right away (Jul10 product, pass 23).
    24. present: I score T 1 for right away as an immediately-class recency word (Jul10 product, pass 24).
    25. present: The only time cue is right away, and that is enough for Time present (Jul10 product, pass 25).
  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    No explicit consequence or severity beyond the product title. Severe is the hazard name. Strong enclosed building is shelter type. Majority 0/25 Same truncated stem on the Jul10 product.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. absent: Impact is absent: Severe is the product name, not a stated consequence such as deadly or damaging winds (Jul10 product, pass 1).
    2. absent: No sentence says what the storm could do to people or property beyond naming the warning (Jul10 product, pass 2).
    3. absent: I do not count impact; strong enclosed building describes shelter quality, not harm (Jul10 product, pass 3).
    4. absent: The text never says life-threatening, dangerous, or may cause injury (Jul10 product, pass 4).
    5. absent: Hazard name Severe Thunderstorm Warning does not by itself satisfy Impact per the rubric (Jul10 product, pass 5).
    6. absent: Stay away from op is truncated guidance, not a consequence statement (Jul10 product, pass 6).
    7. absent: I code I 0 because no explicit harm or severity beyond the product title appears (Jul10 product, pass 7).
    8. absent: There is no could be deadly or damaging winds language here (Jul10 product, pass 8).
    9. absent: Impact requires stated or clearly implied harm; this body only names the warning and shelter (Jul10 product, pass 9).
    10. absent: Strong building is how to shelter, not a description of what the storm will do (Jul10 product, pass 10).
    11. absent: I will not infer hail or wind damage that the text does not state (Jul10 product, pass 11).
    12. absent: No severity clause such as dangerous or destructive is present (Jul10 product, pass 12).
    13. absent: The truncated stay away line does not name an impact such as flying debris (Jul10 product, pass 13).
    14. absent: I mark I absent: consequence language is missing (Jul10 product, pass 14).
    15. absent: Naming a severe thunderstorm warning is still the hazard, not an impact statement (Jul10 product, pass 15).
    16. absent: Readers are not told the storm may injure them or destroy property (Jul10 product, pass 16).
    17. absent: Impact fails; implied need for a strong building is not an explicit consequence (Jul10 product, pass 17).
    18. absent: The rubric example list (deadly, life-threatening, damaging) is not matched here (Jul10 product, pass 18).
    19. absent: I find no harm-to-people-or-property sentence in this transmission (Jul10 product, pass 19).
    20. absent: Hardtop vehicle is a shelter type, not a statement of storm effects (Jul10 product, pass 20).
    21. absent: I 0: the body instructs protection without saying why in consequence terms (Jul10 product, pass 21).
    22. absent: No risk of injury or similar impact phrase appears (Jul10 product, pass 22).
    23. absent: Severity is not separately stated; Severe is glued to Thunderstorm Warning as the title (Jul10 product, pass 23).
    24. absent: I decline to treat the product adjective Severe as an Impact element (Jul10 product, pass 24).
    25. absent: Consequence or severity language is not in this truncated X body (Jul10 product, pass 25).
