SAME (Specific Area Messaging System) is a system
developed by the National Weather Service to reduce
the number of alerts received by consumers by allow-
ing them to hear alerts only for the county(ies) they are
interested in. Each alert contains information about the
type and severity of the alert, as well as the specific
geographic locations affected by the alert.
The geographic locations are designated using FIPS
codes. Each county or parish in the US and its territo-
ries are assigned a FIPS code. In addition, certain
special regions and wildcard settings can be assigned.
FIPS codes are in the format nSSCCC:
n: A special subcounty designator. For an entire
county, use 0.
