SAME RADIOS
With the new Emergency Alert System (EAS)
now in operation, each NWR console is equipped with a Specific
Area Message Encoder
(SAME). This will allow local government,
television, radio, cable systems, and the general public, to be notified
of watches and/or warnings affecting their specific area. For example,
a resident of Hockley County can set up the SAME receiver to alert only
for a dangerous weather situation that will affect Hockley County. Radios
with the SAME feature are now being sold by companies such as Radio
Shack, Wal-Mart and United Supermarkets for as little as $30. These
radios require a user to program the FIPS code(s) for the counties in
which they are receiving warning alarms. The FIPS codes for our listening
area are as follows: (FIPS codes and SAME codes are identical)
