Some NOAA Weather Radios come with a feature that will set off an alarm for any warnings in your area! There is a new technology called SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding), which will set off an alarm for counties you choose only! Again, these alert features are only available with certain NOAA Weather Radios. In order for the SAME technology to work, you have to program a "FIPS" code into your NOAA Weather Radio. Here is a listing of the local FIPS codes. Here is a listing of national FIPS codes for 'SAME' receivers.

NOAA Weather radio information is not broadcast in the normal AM/FM radio bands. A special receiver is needed. Radios are available from department, discount, and radio stores for a relatively inexpensive price. Many receivers have and automatic alerting device that turns the radio on whenever a watch or warning is issued. Small battery operated radios will fit in a shirt pocket. Larger devices with alarms are the size of a book.

Your favorite radio station will probably keep you updated with local weather, provide details about rain and snow seen on weather service radars, and will quickly relay emergency warnings about dangerous or damaging weather in your area. The convenience of NOAA Weather Radio is that broadcasts are totally dedicated to weather information, and it's continuous any hour of the day. If you're hunting, fishing, or sailing, it might be the best source of information on rapidly changing weather. If you're on vacation, you don't need to search for a station to provide the latest forecast. Late on a Saturday night or early on a Sunday morning, NOAA Weather Radio will still provide continuous weather information.
