Message elements

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.

TUalertEMER: Large gathering reported at N Broad St and Cecil B Moore Avenue. Please avoid the area. Police on-scene.

    Final assessment

    Present: majority 25/25 for S on first-burst TUalertEMER text.

    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.

  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Present: majority 25/25 for L on first-burst TUalertEMER text.

    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.

    Present: majority 25/25 for G on first-burst TUalertEMER text.

  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Absent: majority 0/25 for I on first-burst TUalertEMER text.

    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.
