Tornado Warning — Us South Central
A tornado warning has been issued for the US South Central region, with associated severe weather activity. No known contact-center or knowledge-worker operations are identified within the affected footprint, limiting direct WFM relevance. Situation should be monitored in case operational sites are identified or the storm track shifts toward populated BPO corridors.

Incident declaration (deterministic floor + LLM relevance gate + geo-exposure floor)v2
DECLARE when deterministicFloor AND (llm.declare OR acuteWeatherFloor OR geoExposureFloor) AND NOT aggregateTitle, and no open same-domain incident merges it. deterministicFloor = maxSeverity>=8 AND (newsScore>=1 OR bpoScore>=1 OR acuteWeatherFloor). acuteWeatherFloor = maxSeverity>=9 AND any signal is an acute severe-weather WARNING (tornado/severe-thunderstorm/flash-flood) — overrides the LLM footprint-based suppression. geoExposureFloor (agents-034) = domain in {geopolitical, financial, labor, supply_chain, travel, infrastructure, seismic, disaster, environmental, health} AND maxSeverity>=8 AND bpoScore>=3 (density_class high/very_high — a major member hub). Anchored to member exposure (geo_density), it overrides the LLM footprint suppression so any of the ten previously-blind domains can declare when genuinely material; corroboration (2+ signals OR domain news) is guaranteed by the worthAnalyzing gate. Weather + cyber are excluded (their tuned paths are unchanged). aggregateTitle (grab-bag "Multiple/Several/Various…") is refused (agents-019 §D). Asset-class deny (military/war-zone, WFM-37) suppresses earlier. cyberFloor disabled (agents-009 hotfix).

Why SEV3SEV3score 3Deterministic
Incident severity level (SEV1–SEV4) at declarationv1
Base: SEV2 if sev>=9 AND news>=2 AND bpo>=1; else SEV3 if sev>=8 AND (news>=1 OR bpo>=1); else SEV4. Acute severe-weather (agents-028): if sev>=9 floor to SEV3 (SEV2→SEV3); minor/transient watches+advisories drop SEV2/SEV3→SEV4. Single-event cap: any SEV2 caps to SEV3 absent sustained multi-day BPO-region corroboration (SEV2 promotion is human-gated via revalidation). score = numeric SEV (1=most severe … 4); SEV3/SEV4 auto-validate, SEV1/SEV2 require human validation.
