How the first alert is built
To check this alert, an AI model 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.

Report The UCLA Police Department received notice of a report of a sexual battery that occurred at Broad Art Center on 10-22-2026 01:00 PM. The suspect approached the victim from behind, touched the victim's buttocks without their consent, and fled the area. The suspect was last seen on Young Drive North headed towards Parking Structure 3. The suspect is described as a thin Black male in his thirties, approximately six feet tall, with freckles. He was wearing baggy clothing, including a black hooded sweatshirt, and carrying two duffel bags. UCLA PD is investigating this report. If you have information that might assist in the investigation, please contact the UCLA Police Department at 310-825-1491. UCPD reminds the campus community of the following: If you start to feel concerns about a person or a situation, trust your instincts and try to remove yourself as quickly as possible from the potential threat. If you think someone is at risk of assault or abuse, you should consider it an emergency and act to support that person. You can call the police or ask for help from other people, intervene directly if safe, or create a distraction to help remove the potential victim from the situation.

Hazardabsent0/0
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.

Locationabsent0/0
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.

Guidanceabsent0/0
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.

Impactabsent0/0
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.
