 S.A.M.E.
                -  Is a feature in MIDLAND Weather Radios
                that allows you to program in your county code or
                counties codes.  This will eliminate any
                Alerts that are not within your programmed
                Specific Area.  For example, if you only
                want to be informed for alerts within your county
                just program in your county code.  But, if
                you want to be informed about counties that are
                North, South, East and West of you, you can do
                so.

                Test | RWT | Operational |  A WARNING is an
        event that alone poses a significant threat to public
        safety and/or property, probability of occurrence and
        location is high, and the onset time is relatively short.
 A WATCH meets the classification of a warning, but
        either the onset time, probability of occurrence, or
        location is uncertain.
 
 An EMERGENCY is an event that, by itself, would
        not kill or injure or do property damage, but indirectly
        may cause other things to happen that result in a hazard.
        For example, a major power or telephone loss in a large
        city alone is not a direct hazard, but disruption to
        other critical services could create a variety of
        conditions that could directly threaten public safety.
 
 A STATEMENT is a message containing follow up
        information to a warning, watch, or emergency.
