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.
July 29, 2025 8:30 p.m. UO Alert OIMB: Tsunami Advisory issued for OIMB area. Be aware of 1-1.5 foot wave surge expected about 11:45 p.m. There is a tsunami advisory issued for the entire west coast, including the area surrounding the OIMB Campus in Charleston. An 8.7 earthquake has been reported off of the east coast of Kamchatka, Russia. Coos County Emergency Management advises to expect about a foot of wave action starting at about 11:45 p.m., which is close to the time of low tide. Those in the area should stay away from the water and prepare to evacuate to higher ground if necessary. A tsunami is more than one wave. Stay away from the shoreline until the danger has passed. Listen to local media for information from emergency management authorities. Additional guidance will be provided should conditions change via text and email. Additional information, if and when available, will be posted at alerts.uoregon.edu

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.

Hazardpresent25/25
Final assessment
Tsunami advisory and wave surge name the hazard. Majority 25/25.
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
OIMB Campus in Charleston is a named place. Majority 25/25.
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
Final assessment
Stay away from the water and prepare to evacuate are instructions. Majority 25/25.
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.

Impactpresent25/25
Final assessment
8.7 earthquake and wave surge convey severity. Majority 25/25.
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.
