Message elements

How the first alert is built

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

    Absent, 0 of 25 read it as present. 'Safety Bulletin' is a label, not a signature: no university, police force or office claims authorship, and 'Emergency responders' appear only as actors.

    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 closure is attributed to 'a gas line strike which occurred during scheduled work', a specifically named cause.

    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. The location is given precisely: Brodhead Avenue closed 'between Packer Ave and Summit St'.

    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 asked to 'plan extra time for your commute and use caution while traveling through the area'.

    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 closure is 'temporarily' in effect, repairs 'are underway', and the repair timeline is 'unknown at this time'.

    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.

  • Impactabsent1/25

    Final assessment

    Absent by majority, 1 of 25 read it as present. 'There is no immediate danger' negates consequence rather than describing it; the single dissenter treated that sentence as an explicit severity statement.

    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.
