SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) codes are the six-digit numbers your weather radio uses to alert only for your county. A county marked with a note (e.g. partial coverage) is served for that portion only. Data: NOAA/NWS, public domain - verify locally before you rely on it.

Neighboring states. Border counties often sit inside a transmitter's range from the next state over, so if nothing here covers you, try Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas.

Every state is listed on the NOAA Weather Radio by state index.

A radio that will actually use this

Those 75 Arkansas entries only do something inside a radio you can program them into. Two that do the job - and they are different jobs, not better and worse.

At home, always on

Midland WR120B. Mains-powered desk alert radio. Program your county's SAME code from the table above and it sits silent until your county specifically is warned. Then it wakes you. This is the one that earns its keep at three in the morning. Battery backup keeps it alerting through an outage.

In the bag or the car

Midland ER310. Crank and solar, USB-rechargeable with an AA compartment as a third power path, weather band, real flashlight. Receives the same frequencies; it does not do SAME alerting. This is the one you still have when the power has been off for two days.

You do not need an expensive weather radio. The two things that matter are SAME programming, so it stays quiet for counties that are not yours, and a power path that survives the outage the warning is about. Everything above that is convenience. See the buyer's guide for how we pick, and the disclosure for how the links work.
