other campus emergency notice — NE 42nd Street and Way NE due

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. "Seattle police has blocked pedestrian and vehicle traffic" names the acting agency, and the post carries the "Info: alert.uw.edu" signature.

  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.

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. The address is exact, "1401 NE 42nd Street (around University Way NE)", down to "the southeast corner of NE 42nd Street and University Way NE".

  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.

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. Readers are told to "Avoid area", then to "use caution in the area and avoid sidewalks at the southeast corner".

  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.

• Impactpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. Severity is stated outright, "Danger of falling glass", with the bulging windows called "potentially dangerous".

  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.
