How the first alert is built
To check this alert, Claude (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.
Police activity resulting in arrest At 12:36 PM today the Lehigh University Police Department (LUPD) received reports of a suspicious male on campus. LUPD promptly responded and identified and secured the male. During the pursuit and apprehension, a firearm was also secured. The male is in custody, pending charges. There is no active threat to campus. The Lehigh employee who witnessed the incident and promptly called LUPD with a detailed description of the suspect was influential in the prompt and successful outcome of this incident. We encourage our community to remain vigilant and be aware of your surroundings at all times. If you notice someone following you or notice that someone gained unauthorized access to a campus building or residence, contact the LUPD at 610-758-4200.

Hazardpresent25/25
Final assessment
Present: Hazard in HawkWatch CAP.
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: Location in HawkWatch CAP.
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

Impactpresent25/25
Final assessment
Present: Impact in HawkWatch CAP.
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.
