Programming Alerts for a Specific County
To specify a county, SAME uses a standard
established by the US Census bureau, called FIPS.
The format of a FIPS code is "PSSCCC," where:
P = area subdivision (0=entire area)
SS = State code (00=all states)
CCC = County code (000=all counties)
For example, the FIPS code for Tarrant County,
Texas is: 048439 (0=entire area; 48=Texas;
439=Tarrant County).
To limit weather alerts to a specific area, you must
program in the FIPS codes for the areas you want
to receive alerts.
