Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are developed by the United States 
government to identify states, counties, and subdivisions. 

A FIPS code for a location is formatted as follows: 

 

First digit 

Determines the subdivision. 



 

0 = all subdivisions 



 

A number indicates the area of the county (subdivision) impacted (1 through 9) 

Second and third digits 

Determines the state. 

Examples:  

04 = AZ 

10 = DE 

27 = MN 

38 = ND 

Fourth, fifth, and sixth digits 

Determines the county within the state. 

Examples: DE has three county designations: 

001 = Kent 

003 = New Castle 

005 = Sussex 

000 = All counties (state-wide alert) 

An EAS message header can contain as many as 31 FIPS codes.
