WHAT IS S.A.M.E.?


Specific
Area
Message
Encoding

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.

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.
