We recommend every household have an all-hazards radio.
Weather radio clock code#
For the City of Garland, your weather radio should be set for 162.400 MHz and should use the FIPS code 048113. SAME stands for Specific Area Message Encoding and it is what allows you to only hear the alerts issued for your area. To ensure that your radio has this newer technology, make sure that it has the letters “ SAME” on the box. Older type weather alert radios did not have this feature but with the programmable features of this radio, this is no longer an issue. In addition, this radio is programmable, allowing the user to set it up to alert for only the event types and locations they are concerned about. The radio receivers behave like smoke detectors, silently monitoring, and then alerting people to the initial warning message immediately upon receipt, providing more time to respond to the event. It is an "all-hazards" warning system, meaning that it is used not only for immediate flood or tornado-related events but also hazardous materials releases or other localized hazards. The radio then provides a rapid warning, direct from the source, when hazardous weather conditions pose a threat to life and property.

Instead, it sits quietly on your table until it receives broadcasts exclusively from the National Weather Service.

An NOAA All-Hazards radio is not like your typical alarm clock radio or iPod.
