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.

    Final assessment

    FAMU appears only inside the campus location phrase. No FAMU Alert brand, agency, or sender tag is in the body. Majority 0/25 Same truncated stem on the Jun16 first wave.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. absent: No branded FAMU Alert tag or agency names the sender; FAMU appears only inside the campus location phrase (Jun16 first wave, pass 1).
    2. absent: The issuing authority is not identified as a source signature, only as part of FAMU Main Campus (Jun16 first wave, pass 2).
    3. absent: Nothing in the body says who is transmitting the warning; there is no FAMU Alert or police byline (Jun16 first wave, pass 3).
    4. absent: Source is absent because the university name is used as a place, not as a sender brand (Jun16 first wave, pass 4).
    5. absent: I do not count a sender here: no RAVE, Everbridge, or FAMU Alert label is spoken in the text (Jun16 first wave, pass 5).
    6. absent: The message never says we are FAMU Alert or Emergency Management; it only locates the campus (Jun16 first wave, pass 6).
    7. absent: Sender identity is missing; FAMU Main Campus is a location string, not a source stamp (Jun16 first wave, pass 7).
    8. absent: No agency, branded opener, or closing signature tells the reader who issued this product (Jun16 first wave, pass 8).
    9. absent: I code S absent: the text names a campus for the warning, not an alerting office (Jun16 first wave, pass 9).
    10. absent: There is no DPS, police, or FAMU Alert attribution in the transmitted wording (Jun16 first wave, pass 10).
    11. absent: Who sent it is not stated; the Everbridge URL is a link, not a named source (Jun16 first wave, pass 11).
    12. absent: University identity shows up only as the affected Main Campus, which is location not source (Jun16 first wave, pass 12).
    13. absent: A source element needs a sender tag; this body has none besides the place name FAMU (Jun16 first wave, pass 13).
    14. absent: I will not treat FAMU Main Campus as a branded signature; it is the warned area (Jun16 first wave, pass 14).
    15. absent: Issuing office is unspecified; readers are not told FAMU Alert or any other sender (Jun16 first wave, pass 15).
    16. absent: The product is unsigned; no school alert brand or weather office is named as originator (Jun16 first wave, pass 16).
    17. absent: Source fails because the only institutional token is embedded in the location clause (Jun16 first wave, pass 17).
    18. absent: No National Weather Service byline either; the warning is described without a sender (Jun16 first wave, pass 18).
    19. absent: I find no sender identification of the kind the rubric counts as Source (Jun16 first wave, pass 19).
    20. absent: Alert origin is implicit at best; the text never names who is talking (Jun16 first wave, pass 20).
    21. absent: FAMU is not used as we the university alerting you; it is the campus under the warning (Jun16 first wave, pass 21).
    22. absent: Missing source: no header, no footer brand, no agency sentence (Jun16 first wave, pass 22).
    23. absent: The handle is not in the body; body-only coding finds no sender (Jun16 first wave, pass 23).
    24. absent: I score source 0 because the message never identifies the transmitting authority (Jun16 first wave, pass 24).
    25. absent: Without a FAMU Alert colon tag or named office, source is not present in this text (Jun16 first wave, pass 25).
  • Hazardpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Severe Thunderstorm Warning names a specific weather hazard. Majority 25/25 Same truncated stem on the Jun16 first wave.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Hazard is specifically a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, not a generic emergency (Jun16 first wave, pass 1).
    2. present: The threat named is a severe thunderstorm, which is a concrete weather hazard (Jun16 first wave, pass 2).
    3. present: It states a Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued, naming the hazard type (Jun16 first wave, pass 3).
    4. present: H is present via Severe Thunderstorm Warning rather than an unnamed incident (Jun16 first wave, pass 4).
    5. present: The product name Severe Thunderstorm Warning identifies what the danger is (Jun16 first wave, pass 5).
    6. present: A thunderstorm warning of the severe class is a specific named threat (Jun16 first wave, pass 6).
    7. present: Readers are told the hazard is a severe thunderstorm covering campus (Jun16 first wave, pass 7).
    8. present: The opening sentence names Severe Thunderstorm Warning as the event (Jun16 first wave, pass 8).
    9. present: Hazard coding is 1 because thunderstorm is specified, not merely an emergency (Jun16 first wave, pass 9).
    10. present: What is happening is a severe thunderstorm, stated in the first sentence (Jun16 first wave, pass 10).
    11. present: The warning type itself is the hazard label: severe thunderstorm (Jun16 first wave, pass 11).
    12. present: I count H present; severe thunderstorm is a named meteorological threat (Jun16 first wave, pass 12).
    13. present: The text does not hide behind incident; it says Severe Thunderstorm Warning (Jun16 first wave, pass 13).
    14. present: Specific threat language is Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the campus (Jun16 first wave, pass 14).
    15. present: Hazard element is satisfied by naming the severe thunderstorm product (Jun16 first wave, pass 15).
    16. present: A thunderstorm, described as severe, is the hazard being warned (Jun16 first wave, pass 16).
    17. present: This is not a vague situation; it is a severe thunderstorm warning (Jun16 first wave, pass 17).
    18. present: The NWS-style product title in the body is the hazard statement (Jun16 first wave, pass 18).

    21. present: The body leads with the hazard class Severe Thunderstorm Warning (Jun16 first wave, pass 21).
    22. present: Thunderstorm is the specific weather threat the rubric wants for H (Jun16 first wave, pass 22).
    23. present: H holds because severe thunderstorm is more specific than emergency (Jun16 first wave, pass 23).
    24. present: The alert tells you the threat is a severe thunderstorm warning (Jun16 first wave, pass 24).
    25. present: I read Severe Thunderstorm Warning as a fully specified hazard name (Jun16 first wave, pass 25).
  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    FAMU Main Campus and surrounding areas is a named campus location. Majority 25/25 Same truncated stem on the Jun16 first wave.

    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. present: Location is FAMU Main Campus and surrounding areas, a named campus place (Jun16 first wave, pass 1).
    2. present: It says the warning is for FAMU Main Campus plus surrounding areas (Jun16 first wave, pass 2).
    3. present: L is present: Main Campus is a named site, with surrounding areas as the zone (Jun16 first wave, pass 3).
    4. present: The geographic target is FAMU Main Campus and the area around it (Jun16 first wave, pass 4).
    5. present: Campus is named as FAMU Main Campus, which counts as a place (Jun16 first wave, pass 5).
    6. present: Where: Main Campus and surrounding areas, stated in the first sentence (Jun16 first wave, pass 6).
    7. present: The warned place is the main campus, not an unnamed somewhere (Jun16 first wave, pass 7).
    8. present: Location language includes Main Campus, a campus-scale named site (Jun16 first wave, pass 8).
    9. present: Surrounding areas plus FAMU Main Campus give a location of action (Jun16 first wave, pass 9).
    10. present: I code L 1 because Main Campus is an identifiable campus location (Jun16 first wave, pass 10).
    11. present: The text locates the warning on FAMU Main Campus (Jun16 first wave, pass 11).
    12. present: A named campus (Main Campus) satisfies the location element (Jun16 first wave, pass 12).
    13. present: Place is specified as main campus and the surrounding area (Jun16 first wave, pass 13).
    14. present: Readers are told where: FAMU Main Campus and nearby surroundings (Jun16 first wave, pass 14).
    15. present: L holds on Main Campus, which is a named institutional site (Jun16 first wave, pass 15).
    16. present: The warning footprint is Main Campus and surrounding areas (Jun16 first wave, pass 16).
    17. present: Location is not omitted; Main Campus is written out (Jun16 first wave, pass 17).
    18. present: I treat FAMU Main Campus as the location phrase the rubric accepts (Jun16 first wave, pass 18).
    19. present: Named place: Main Campus. Surrounding areas widen that zone (Jun16 first wave, pass 19).
    20. present: The first sentence pins the product to Main Campus (Jun16 first wave, pass 20).
    21. present: Campus-level location is present via Main Campus wording (Jun16 first wave, pass 21).
    22. present: Where to apply the warning is FAMU Main Campus and surroundings (Jun16 first wave, pass 22).

    24. present: The alert states a place: Main Campus, not just in the area (Jun16 first wave, pass 24).
    25. present: I mark location present for FAMU Main Campus and surrounding areas (Jun16 first wave, pass 25).
  • Guidancepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Remain indoors, seek shelter in a strong enclosed building or hardtop vehicle, and stay away from op are protective instructions. Majority 25/25 Same truncated stem on the Jun16 first wave.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Guidance is remain indoors, seek shelter in a strong enclosed building or hardtop vehicle, and stay away from op (Jun16 first wave, pass 1).
    2. present: Please remain indoors is a direct protective instruction to recipients (Jun16 first wave, pass 2).
    3. present: It tells people outside to seek shelter in a strong enclosed building or a hardtop vehicle right away (Jun16 first wave, pass 3).
    4. present: Stay away from op, though truncated, is still a stay-away instruction (Jun16 first wave, pass 4).
    5. present: G is present: remain indoors plus seek shelter are protective actions (Jun16 first wave, pass 5).
    6. present: Recipients are ordered indoors and into substantial shelter, which is guidance (Jun16 first wave, pass 6).
    7. present: The body instructs remain indoors and seek shelter, not merely describes responders (Jun16 first wave, pass 7).
    8. present: Protective action: remain indoors; if outside, get into a strong building or hardtop vehicle (Jun16 first wave, pass 8).
    9. present: I count G 1 for remain indoors and the shelter-seeking sentence (Jun16 first wave, pass 9).
    10. present: Seek shelter in a strong enclosed building is an instruction to the reader (Jun16 first wave, pass 10).
    11. present: Hardtop vehicle is offered as a shelter option, which is guidance to those outside (Jun16 first wave, pass 11).
    12. present: Remain indoors is the primary action; stay away from op is a second action (Jun16 first wave, pass 12).
    13. present: The text tells you what to do: stay inside or take vehicle or building shelter (Jun16 first wave, pass 13).
    14. present: Guidance element is met by indoor remaining and immediate shelter seeking (Jun16 first wave, pass 14).
    15. present: Please remain indoors is imperative guidance, not a status report (Jun16 first wave, pass 15).
    16. present: If you find yourself outside, seek shelter is a contingent protective instruction (Jun16 first wave, pass 16).
    17. present: I score G present because recipients are told to remain indoors and seek shelter (Jun16 first wave, pass 17).
    18. present: Action language includes remain indoors, seek shelter, and stay away from op (Jun16 first wave, pass 18).
    19. present: The shelter instruction names a strong enclosed building or hardtop vehicle (Jun16 first wave, pass 19).
    20. present: G holds: these are things the audience is told to do for protection (Jun16 first wave, pass 20).
    21. present: Right away attaches to seek shelter, reinforcing the protective instruction (Jun16 first wave, pass 21).
    22. present: Stay away from op is truncated but still a stay-away guidance fragment (Jun16 first wave, pass 22).
    23. present: Indoor remaining plus shelter seeking are the two main protective steps (Jun16 first wave, pass 23).
    24. present: I read three guidance bits: remain indoors, seek shelter, stay away from op (Jun16 first wave, pass 24).
    25. present: The alert is not descriptive only; it directs indoor sheltering behavior (Jun16 first wave, pass 25).
  • Timepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Right away is an immediacy cue in the same class as the rubric example immediately. Majority 25/25. Distinct from clock time, still Time present Same truncated stem on the Jun16 first wave.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Right away is an immediacy cue, equivalent to the rubric example immediately (Jun16 first wave, pass 1).
    2. present: The shelter instruction is to act right away, which is a recency or urgency time mark (Jun16 first wave, pass 2).
    3. present: T is present via right away, a now-like prompt to take shelter (Jun16 first wave, pass 3).
    4. present: Right away tells recipients the action is immediate, which counts as Time (Jun16 first wave, pass 4).
    5. present: I treat right away as the same class of cue as immediately in the rubric (Jun16 first wave, pass 5).
    6. present: There is no clock time, but right away is an explicit recency word (Jun16 first wave, pass 6).
    7. present: Time element is satisfied by the immediacy of right away on the shelter line (Jun16 first wave, pass 7).
    8. present: The phrase right away is a when: do this without delay (Jun16 first wave, pass 8).
    9. present: I code T 1 because right away is a listed-style immediacy marker (Jun16 first wave, pass 9).
    10. present: Seek shelter right away conveys that the window is now, not later (Jun16 first wave, pass 10).
    11. present: Has been issued is a present-tense issuance, and right away adds immediacy (Jun16 first wave, pass 11).
    12. present: The rubric lists immediately; right away is the same timing sense (Jun16 first wave, pass 12).
    13. present: No date or clock appears, yet right away is still a time-of-action cue (Jun16 first wave, pass 13).
    14. present: I will not ignore right away as mere style; it is a temporal instruction (Jun16 first wave, pass 14).
    15. present: T holds on right away even though no clock like 6:40 p.m. is given (Jun16 first wave, pass 15).
    16. present: Recency is signaled by right away attached to seeking shelter (Jun16 first wave, pass 16).
    17. present: The action timing is right away, which is when (Jun16 first wave, pass 17).
    18. present: Immediacy language is present: right away (Jun16 first wave, pass 18).
    19. present: I mark Time present solely on the right away cue (Jun16 first wave, pass 19).
    20. present: Without right away this would be T 0; that phrase supplies Time (Jun16 first wave, pass 20).
    21. present: Right away functions as immediately does in other campus shelter products (Jun16 first wave, pass 21).
    22. present: The reader is told to shelter right away, a now-oriented time cue (Jun16 first wave, pass 22).
    23. present: Time is not a clock; it is the immediacy of right away (Jun16 first wave, pass 23).
    24. present: I score T 1 for right away as an immediately-class recency word (Jun16 first wave, pass 24).
    25. present: The only time cue is right away, and that is enough for Time present (Jun16 first wave, pass 25).
  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    No explicit consequence or severity beyond the product title. Severe is the hazard name. Strong enclosed building is shelter type. Majority 0/25 Same truncated stem on the Jun16 first wave.

    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: Impact is absent: Severe is the product name, not a stated consequence such as deadly or damaging winds (Jun16 first wave, pass 1).
    2. absent: No sentence says what the storm could do to people or property beyond naming the warning (Jun16 first wave, pass 2).
    3. absent: I do not count impact; strong enclosed building describes shelter quality, not harm (Jun16 first wave, pass 3).
    4. absent: The text never says life-threatening, dangerous, or may cause injury (Jun16 first wave, pass 4).
    5. absent: Hazard name Severe Thunderstorm Warning does not by itself satisfy Impact per the rubric (Jun16 first wave, pass 5).
    6. absent: Stay away from op is truncated guidance, not a consequence statement (Jun16 first wave, pass 6).
    7. absent: I code I 0 because no explicit harm or severity beyond the product title appears (Jun16 first wave, pass 7).
    8. absent: There is no could be deadly or damaging winds language here (Jun16 first wave, pass 8).
    9. absent: Impact requires stated or clearly implied harm; this body only names the warning and shelter (Jun16 first wave, pass 9).
    10. absent: Strong building is how to shelter, not a description of what the storm will do (Jun16 first wave, pass 10).
    11. absent: I will not infer hail or wind damage that the text does not state (Jun16 first wave, pass 11).
    12. absent: No severity clause such as dangerous or destructive is present (Jun16 first wave, pass 12).
    13. absent: The truncated stay away line does not name an impact such as flying debris (Jun16 first wave, pass 13).
    14. absent: I mark I absent: consequence language is missing (Jun16 first wave, pass 14).
    15. absent: Naming a severe thunderstorm warning is still the hazard, not an impact statement (Jun16 first wave, pass 15).
    16. absent: Readers are not told the storm may injure them or destroy property (Jun16 first wave, pass 16).
    17. absent: Impact fails; implied need for a strong building is not an explicit consequence (Jun16 first wave, pass 17).
    18. absent: The rubric example list (deadly, life-threatening, damaging) is not matched here (Jun16 first wave, pass 18).
    19. absent: I find no harm-to-people-or-property sentence in this transmission (Jun16 first wave, pass 19).
    20. absent: Hardtop vehicle is a shelter type, not a statement of storm effects (Jun16 first wave, pass 20).
    21. absent: I 0: the body instructs protection without saying why in consequence terms (Jun16 first wave, pass 21).
    22. absent: No risk of injury or similar impact phrase appears (Jun16 first wave, pass 22).
    23. absent: Severity is not separately stated; Severe is glued to Thunderstorm Warning as the title (Jun16 first wave, pass 23).
    24. absent: I decline to treat the product adjective Severe as an Impact element (Jun16 first wave, pass 24).
    25. absent: Consequence or severity language is not in this truncated X body (Jun16 first wave, pass 25).
