### False Reassurance in LLM Severe-Weather Guidance: A Replayable Evaluation Against Real NWS Alerts

If an AI assistant can't see official weather warnings, will it tell people everything is calm while a storm warning is active? I replayed 117 real cases against five setups of a Claude-based assistant to find out.

What I found

Without access to real alerts, the assistant gave false reassurance in more than a third of warning cases. With real alerts and a neutral prompt, that dropped to zero, but prompt wording still mattered a lot.

Dataset, labels and code released openly
