Why is the National Weather Service making these changes?
- Users will receive fewer Warnings!
- Users will receive Warnings more relevant to their area
- NWR users and broadcasters have the option to enter any number of partitions.
- NWR users with SAME-equipped receivers should consult their owner's manual, or contact the manufacturer, for instructions on how to program in the new 6-digit codes.
- Users who wish to continue receiving all Warnings for a county do not need to do anything.
As an example, here is the information for Clark County, NV, NWR users:
