CABOUT ALERT SYSTEMS
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 WR601 to sound an alert for only certain weather conditions or within a limited geographic area such as a county.
