Dear UNE Community, With the storm expected to impact our area this weekend, we want to remind everyone to exercise extra caution and good judgment around the coast. The storm is expected to produce high surf and potentially hazardous conditions, including larger and more powerful waves, strong currents, and slippery surfaces. Conditions can change quickly, even when the weather immediately around you appears calm. If you are spending time near the coastline this weekend: Use extra caution around rocks, jetties, and other areas exposed to the surf. Stay well back from the water's edge and avoid climbing on or standing near wet rocks. Do not enter the water if conditions are rough or unsafe. Be aware that waves can be unpredictable and can reach areas that appear to be safely away from the water. Follow posted warnings, closures, and instructions from emergency personnel. We encourage everyone to enjoy the weekend while keeping safety in mind. When in doubt, stay away from the water and coastal rocks until conditions improve. Thank you for helping keep our community safe!

Message elements

How the first alert is built

To check this alert, SuperGrok Heavy 4.5 (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

    7 of 25 passes marked Source present and 18 absent. The comet judge finds no sender, because Dear UNE Community names the audience and emergency personnel are not identified as the issuer.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. absent: The comet judge finds no sender, because Dear UNE Community names the audience and emergency personnel are not identified as the issuer.
    2. absent: The word draco marks source absent because Dear UNE Community names the audience and no office, signature, or agency is the sender.
    3. absent: The salutation Dear UNE Community names the audience, not a sender or agency, so equinox finds source absent.
    4. absent: The flare of this greeting addresses the UNE Community but never names a sender, branded signature, or issuing authority.
    5. absent: The galaxy of senders is missing because Dear UNE Community names the audience, not a branded signature, university issuer, or agency.

    12. absent: The nebula reading finds source absent because "Dear UNE Community" names the audience, not a branded sender, university issuer, or named agency.
    13. present: Opening with "Dear UNE Community" names the university itself, which puts UNE in the orbit of who is addressing recipients.
    14. absent: The salutation addresses the UNE Community but never names a sender, branded alert signature, or issuing agency, so pulsar finds no source.
    15. absent: A quasar check finds no issuing authority, since Dear UNE Community only names the audience and emergency personnel are not the stated sender.
    16. absent: The greeting addresses UNE Community but never names a sender or agency, so rigel codes source absent.
    17. absent: The solar message never names a sender or issuing office, because Dear UNE Community only addresses recipients and emergency personnel are not identified as the source.

  • Hazardpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    25 of 25 passes marked Hazard present and 0 absent. The comet text names a specific storm hazard with high surf, powerful waves, strong currents, and slippery surfaces.

    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.

    1. present: The comet text names a specific storm hazard with high surf, powerful waves, strong currents, and slippery surfaces.
    2. present: The word draco marks hazard present because the text names a storm with high surf, powerful waves, strong currents, and slippery surfaces.

  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    25 of 25 passes marked Location present and 0 absent. The comet location is the coast and coastline, including rocks, jetties, and our area.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads

    25. present: It locates the risk around the coast, the coastline, and our area, so a corona place is given.
  • Guidancepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    25 of 25 passes marked Guidance present and 0 absent. The comet guidance tells people to stay well back, avoid wet rocks, not enter the water, and stay away.

    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.

  • Timepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    25 of 25 passes marked Time present and 0 absent. The comet time cue is this weekend, which says when the storm and the caution apply.

    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.

  • Impactpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    25 of 25 passes marked Impact present and 0 absent. The comet impact is severity: potentially hazardous conditions and water that may be unsafe, not just the storm name.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: The comet impact is severity: potentially hazardous conditions and water that may be unsafe, not just the storm name.
    2. present: The word draco marks impact present because conditions are called potentially hazardous and the water is described as unsafe.

    10. present: Under a lunar standard, potentially hazardous conditions and unsafe water state severity beyond merely naming a storm.
    11. present: The meteor reading finds severity because the text says "potentially hazardous conditions" and calls rough water "unsafe".
    12. present: The nebula reading finds impact present because the storm is "expected to impact" the area with "potentially hazardous" and "unsafe" conditions.
    13. present: Phrases "potentially hazardous conditions" and "unsafe" convey severity and possible harm, which is the impact orbit rather than a bare hazard name.
    14. present: It calls the conditions potentially hazardous and unsafe, which pulsar reads as stated severity beyond the hazard name.
    15. present: A quasar check finds severity, since the text calls the surf conditions potentially hazardous and unsafe rather than only naming a storm.
    16. present: Potentially hazardous and unsafe conditions state severity beyond the storm name, so rigel codes impact present.
    17. present: The solar wording calls the surf potentially hazardous and unsafe, so the severity of harm is stated beyond merely naming a storm.
