NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
The National Weather Service (NWS) is one of the six scientific agencies that make up the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It provides weather, hydro-
logic, and climate forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent
waters and ocean areas. NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio (NWR) is a nationwide
network of radio stations broadcasting continuous NWS warnings, watches, forecasts and
other hazard information 24 hours a day.

Emergency Alert System (EAS)
The emergency alert system uses the latest technology to broadcast important emergency
information specific to certain areas. See www.fcc.gov/eb/eas/ for more information on the
emergency alert system.
Early Warning Alert System
The NWR early warning system utilizes radio signals to alert users to environmental
dangers. When the NWR airs urgent warnings, a digital encoding system known as SAME
(Specific Area Message Encoding) allows the WR103NX to sound an alert for only certain
weather conditions or within a limited geographic area such as a county.
SAME technology filters out non-local emergency alerts, allowing you to monitor only local
counties.
