Test near system will be tested on Thurs with protective guidance alert test

To check this alert, Claude Opus 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

  Present at 25 of 25: the notice is issued in the university voice about "The UW Alert notification system" and cites "UW Emergency Management" for further information.

  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

  Present at 25 of 25: the hazard is named as earthquakes, the test running "in conjunction with the Great ShakeOut 2019, an international earthquake drill".

  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.

• Locationpresent23/25

  Final assessment

  Present at 23 of 25: the text situates the drill in "Washington state" and "the Pacific Northwest" alongside the UW Outdoor Alert test. Two reads objected that no campus or building is named.

  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

  Present at 25 of 25: readers are told to "sign up and learn more here" if they do not receive UW Alert notifications, and to practice what to do in an earthquake.

  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.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent, 0 of 25: the post advertises where to learn about quake risks and faults but never states what an earthquake would do or how severe it could be.

  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.
