1 About Y our Radio T raditional weather radios receive NOAA ’ s weather broadcast (usually within a 50-mile radius) then sound an alarm of any emergency code which was transmitted along with the broadcast.
2 About Weather Alert When the WX100 receives a weather alert: • It sounds an alert siren. • A description of the alert appears. • An indicator on the front of the radio lights. The alert descriptions your radio can display are based on a list of specific weather alert types published by the NWS.
3 About FIPS Codes For the purpose of broadcasting weather information, the NWS has divided the United States into regions by state and county (or parish, where applicable) then assigned a 6-digit FIPS code to identify each county or parish. For example, the code for T arrant County , T exas, is 048439.
4 Obtaining Y our Area’ s FIPS Code(s) T o obtain the FIPS code for the location where you installed your radio, contact the NWS toll free at 1-888-NWR-SAME (1-888-697-7263). Visit their website: http://www .nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw .htm If you call the NWS, follow the instructions you hear .
