Test - test alert system 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 sender is institutional throughout, naming "The UW Alert notification system" and "UW's Division of Campus Community Safety".

  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: the hazard rehearsed is the earthquake, as the post ties the test to "Great ShakeOut 2023, an international earthquake drill".

  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: the only geography offered is "activities in Washington state". Two reads objected with force that no campus or area is named for the test itself.

  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 are directed to act, to "sign up and learn more" for notifications and to check the drill information resources.

  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 notice fixes the test at "Thursday, Oct. 19, around 10:19 a.m." and opens by saying that day is Great ShakeOut.

  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, 0 of 25 voting present: nothing in the text describes what an earthquake could do, how severe shaking might be, or what harm preparation would prevent.

  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.
