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.

  • Hazardpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    25 of 25 passes found H present (25 present / 0 absent). Severe thunderstorm warning with 70 mph winds is a specific weather threat.

    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.

  • Locationabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    0 of 25 passes found L present (0 present / 25 absent). Lowest level interior was read as sheltering guidance, not a campus site.

    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. absent: Guidance "lowest level interior" describes sheltering, not a campus, street, or building.
    2. absent: This wording never names a campus, city, building, or other place where the storm is occurring.
    3. absent: Absent because no campus, building, city, or other geographic site is given for the storm.

    11. absent: Recipients are not told a campus, city, building, or other place the storm is hitting.
    12. absent: Missing because no campus, building, street, or named area locates the storm.
    13. absent: A campus, city, building, or other geographic site for the storm is never named.
    14. absent: No campus city building or other site is given, leaving the storm unlocated.
    15. absent: From the wording no campus, city, building, or other place is given for the storm.
    16. absent: No campus, city, building, or other place is given for where the storm is occurring.
    17. absent: Here the text never names a campus, city, building, or other place the storm is hitting.

    19. absent: Coding location absent because no campus, city, building, or other place is given for the storm.
    20. absent: Gives no campus, city, building, or other place the storm is hitting.
    21. absent: On this pass the text never names a campus, city, street, or building where the storm applies.

  • Guidancepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    25 of 25 passes found G present (25 present / 0 absent). Seek shelter immediately and shelter in place instruct recipients.

    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

    25 of 25 passes found T present (25 present / 0 absent). Immediately supplies a recency cue for the shelter order.

    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.

  • Impactpresent18/25

    Final assessment

    18 of 25 passes found I present (18 present / 7 absent). Majority treated 70 mph winds as severity; dissent treated wind speed as hazard detail only.

    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: Phrase "70 mph winds" details the hazard rather than injury, damage, or other consequences.
    2. present: This wording states 70 mph winds as storm severity beyond the hazard name alone.
    3. absent: Absent because 70 mph winds describe the storm itself and no injury, damage, or other consequence is stated.
    4. present: The impact is 70 mph wind severity, which is more than the hazard name alone.
    5. present: Stated seventy mile per hour winds convey storm severity beyond merely naming thunderstorms.
    6. absent: Lacks a stated harm or outcome beyond the storm and wind speed themselves.
    7. present: this text gives 70 mph winds as a concrete severity, not just the hazard label
    8. present: The cue is 70 mph winds, a severity figure beyond the hazard name.
    9. present: I read 70 mph winds which states storm severity beyond the hazard name alone.
    10. present: Counts as severity because 70 mph winds state how intense the storm is rather than only naming the warning.
    11. present: Recipients are given 70 mph winds as severity beyond the thunderstorm hazard name alone.
    12. absent: Winds because 70 mph only specifies the threat and does not state injury, damage, or other outcomes.
    13. present: A 70 mph wind speed states storm severity beyond the thunderstorm hazard name alone.
    14. present: The 70 mph winds figure adds storm intensity, which is severity beyond the thunderstorm name.
    15. present: From the wording 70 mph winds states storm severity rather than only naming the thunderstorm hazard.
    16. present: The 70 mph winds figure states numeric severity beyond the thunderstorm warning name.
    17. present: Here 70 mph winds state storm severity beyond the hazard name itself.
    18. present: The 70 mph winds cue states severity beyond the thunderstorm hazard name alone.
    19. absent: Coding impact absent because 70 mph winds still describe the storm and no injury, damage, or other consequence is stated.
    20. present: States 70 mph winds as numeric severity, not only the hazard name.
    21. present: On this pass 70 mph winds states numeric storm severity beyond merely naming the thunderstorm hazard.
    22. absent: Wind speed describes the storm, not injury, death, or damage (an explicit harm outcome would).
    23. present: Something states 70 mph winds as storm severity beyond the thunderstorm name.
    24. absent: The 70 mph figure describes the storm, and the text never says those winds would injure people or damage property.
    25. present: The 70 mph winds figure states storm severity beyond the thunderstorm warning name alone, so the vote is present
