Flash Flood Warning Example

(Before) Clark County, NV, Before Partitioning

(After) Clark County, NV, After Partitioning

For Clark County, our example, the text scroll of the warning over EAS will state the National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Warning for “Northeast Clark County, Northwest Clark County.” The cardinal language descriptions are fixed as follows:

• Broadcasters who choose to relay specific partitions must add each unique, 6-digit location code to their EAS box filter.
• Broadcasts who choose to relay an all-county warning will need to check with their EAS equipment supplier for additional instructions.
• Partitioning will benefit lower wattage AM radio stations serving specific county partitions
