Test - alert system today shakeo

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, 25 of 25: the notice speaks as the institution, describing "The UW Alert notification system" and pointing to "UW Emergency Management" resources.

  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.

• Hazardpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25: earthquakes are the named hazard, since the day is "Great ShakeOut 2022, an international earthquake drill" and the test links to quake preparedness.

  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.

• Locationpresent23/25

  Final assessment

  Present by 23 of 25: geography is given only broadly, "activities in Washington state" and "our region". Two reads reasonably objected that no campus, building or area is specified.

  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: readers who do not get notifications are told to "sign up and learn more here" and pointed to earthquake drill information.

  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

  Present, 25 of 25: the test is scheduled precisely, "Thursday, Oct. 20, around 9 a.m.", and the post anchors itself with "Today".

  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.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent, 0 of 25 voting present: the text mentions a professor discussing "seismic risks" in a video but states no damage, injury or severity an earthquake could cause.

  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.
