SAME Codes
If you own a NWR SAME receiver, you will
need to program the county you wish to receive watches and
warnings for into the radio. It will then alert you only of
weather and other emergencies for the county(s) you have
programmed. Older (non-SAME) NWR receivers without the SAME
capability would alert for emergencies anywhere within the
coverage area of the NWR transmitter, typically several counties,
even though the emergency could be well away from the listener.
The SAME technology can eliminate this appearance of overwarning.
SAME Codes
To program currently available NWR SAME receivers with
the proper county(s) of choice you will need to know the 6-digit
SAME code number(s) for that county(s). :
- One method for getting a county NWR SAME code number
for programming SAME receivers will be available through the
following NWS's telephone number: 1-888-NWR-SAME or
1-888-697-7263. Users will be prompted through a simple voice
menu. With this SAME technology, users will be able to program
more advanced receivers to receive alerts for specific
emergencies as well as for specific counties.
