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, unanimous 25 of 25. Two authorities sign the message, the campus "IUB Alert" tag and the issuing office "NWS Indianapolis IN".

  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, 25 of 25. "Tornado Warning issued" names the hazard explicitly, and a warning signals a tornado indicated or sighted rather than merely possible.

  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 on all 25 of 25 reads. The header line scopes the message to "Monroe County", naming the jurisdiction under the warning.

  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, 25 of 25 unanimously. The capitalized command "SEEK SHELTER NOW." gives one unmistakable protective action to take.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Absent by unanimous 0 of 25. The message conveys urgency through "SEEK SHELTER NOW" but never describes the damage, injury or severity a tornado could bring.

  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.
