Tornado warnings for Monroe County with seek-shelter orders

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.

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. The message carries the "IUB Alert" campus brand and credits "NWS Indianapolis IN" as the originating weather office.

  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

  Present, unanimous 25 of 25. "Tornado Warning" is stated outright as the threat, an imminent rather than merely potential tornado.

  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.

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. "Monroe County" is named in the header as the area the warning covers.

  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, 0 of 25. No wording tells recipients what the tornado could destroy or how dangerous conditions may become; only the shelter command conveys urgency.

  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.
