Specific Area Message Encoding

<p>
Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) is a <a href="/facts/Communications_protocol/5uady7cB">protocol</a> used for framing and classification of broadcasting <a href="/facts/Emergency_population_warning/EUEy5JU0">emergency warning</a> messages.  It was developed by the United States <a href="/facts/National_Weather_Service/gcWCQRzr">National Weather Service</a> for use on its <a href="/facts/NOAA_Weather_Radio/H5uXfdGu">NOAA Weather Radio</a> (NWR) network, and was later adopted by the <a href="/facts/Federal_Communications_Commission/Ueghz8W0">Federal Communications Commission</a> for the <a href="/facts/Emergency_Alert_System/2gzJnnwF">Emergency Alert System</a>, then subsequently by <a href="/facts/Environment_Canada/2cLH9LEg">Environment Canada</a> for use on its <a href="/facts/Weatheradio_Canada/TojCGBDh">Weatheradio Canada</a> service. It is also used to set off receivers in Mexico City and surrounding areas as part of the <a href="/facts/Mexican_Seismic_Alert_System/4L7JAxEr">Mexican Seismic Alert System</a> (SASMEX).
