A WORD ABOUT Weather Radio Alert Receivers..
.
The above Maine and New Hampshire county FIPS codes are used
by the next generation of Weather Alert Receivers. These
"SAME-activated"
Weather Alert Receivers alert the user when a warning is issued only for
a particular county of interest. In order for them to work...the user
must
input the appropriate county
FIPS
code
from the list above. The new "SAME-activated" Weather Alert
Receiver allows the listener to
receive warnings
only for the county of interest.
The older style of Weather
Alert receiver alerts for
all
warnings
issued by a NOAA Weather Radio Station regardless of county. Please note
that the current NOAA Weather Radio format continues to support both the
old and new style of Weather Alert Receiver.
