What is FIPS?
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Codes for
Geographical Areas. If you have a newer model Weather
Radio, amateur radio transceiver or scanner, you may wish to have those FIPS
codes you are interested in preprogrammed. Using these codes you not only
receive the tone activation alerts, but in some radios, a brief identification of the weather problem
anticipated.
FIPS codes provide unique codes for U.S. states, counties, populated places,
primary county divisions, and other locational entities as well as for
countries.
