Kahuna,
If you only programmed in Channel 5, you will get all the alerts broadcast by Summterville...including any outlying county alerts they broadcast (Alachua, Citrus, etc). To get the best accuracy on alerts, you would program in the SAME codes for the counties you want (I have all 3 of the local counties) from the Sumterville tower.
Here's a link to NOAA SAME codes

As far as types of alerts, you can limit them too...below was clipped from NWS website.
“All Hazards” messages include:
natural (e.g., tornado, hurricane, floods, earthquakes)
technological accidents (e.g., chemical release, oil spill, nuclear power
plant emergencies, maritime accidents, train derailments)
AMBER alerts
terrorist attacks.
Mine was going off like crazy last night. These radios really do work. Good investment!!!
