Winter storm - broome early close 3pm

To check this alert, Claude Opus 5.5 (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.

• Hazardpresent21/25

  Final assessment

  Present by a strong majority (21 of 25): "inclement weather" names a weather hazard as the cause; a few reads dissented that the phrase is too vague to specify snow or ice.

  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

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  All 25 reads agree impact is absent: nothing says what the inclement weather could do, such as hazardous roads, or how severe it is.

  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.
