Indoor test scheduled for sept

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 at 25 of 25: the notice speaks for the university about "the UW Indoor Alert system," one of its "tools used to communicate emergency information to the campus community."

  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

  Absent at 0 of 25: the text describes only "The annual test of the UW Indoor Alert system," with emergencies referenced solely as what the system exists to cover.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Present at 25 of 25: it states the footprint plainly, "about 95 campus buildings in Seattle," plus reader boards "in about 45 buildings and garages."

  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

  Absent at 2 of 25: the text sets expectations, "you can expect to hear chimes, horns or a voice announcement," which is description; two reads counted the "Sign up for UW Alert" link as an instruction.

  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 at 0 of 25: nothing describes harm or severity; the only effects named are chimes, scrolling board messages and "flashing emergency lights" during the test.

  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.
