Back-to-back severe thunderstorm warnings with campus shelter instructions

To check this alert, Claude Opus 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.

  Final assessment

  Present at 18 of 25. The reads took "FAMU Main Campus" as the university speaking for itself, while seven objected that the passive "has been issued" leaves the actual sender unnamed.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Present, unanimously at 25 of 25. "A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued" names the specific weather threat outright.

  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.

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, unanimously at 25 of 25. The warning area is stated as "FAMU Main Campus and surrounding areas", a named place with a defined edge.

  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.

• Guidancepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, unanimously at 25 of 25. Readers are told to "remain indoors" and, if outside, to "seek shelter in a strong, enclosed building or a hardtop vehicle right away".

  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.

• Timepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, unanimously at 25 of 25. "has been issued" marks the warning as current and "right away" sets the urgency, though no expiry time is given.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Absent at 5 of 25. The text breaks off mid sentence at "stay away from op" before any consequence is spelled out; five reads inferred severity from the demand for a strong, enclosed building.

  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.
