Each county is assigned two numbers; one is for short fused, local warnings, called the FIPS code (<b>F</b>ederal <b>I</b>nformation and <b>P</b>rocessing <b>S</b>tandards), and the other is for forecast zones and weather warnings that cover broad areas. (In the case of Texas, each county is considered a zone).<br><br> FIPS codes are odd numbers and assigned alphabetically by county. In Texas, Anderson County is the first county alphabetically and is assigned the FIPS code 001. FIPS codes are the numbers that can be entered into specially built NOAA Weather Radio receivers that allow the user to receive alerts to weather hazards specifically for a county or groups of counties. Find out more about <a href="../fwd/radio.html">NOAA Weather Radio</a>.<br><br> Zones are assigned by county and are numbered sequentially, west to east, beginning in the Panhandle of Texas.<br><br>
