How to Search

You can search zones by zone number, country name, or country code. To quickly find information:

  • While on this page, press Ctrl+F to open your browser's search panel. Enter the zone number, country name, or country code, then press enter.
  • Click the Search tab on the left (below the table of contents). Enter the search term, then click the Search button. A list of all topics that contain the search term displays.

Notes:

  • Parentheses after a country, state, or area indicate the abbreviation for that location.
  • The zone codes are divided into a zone/sub-zone configuration. The first two numbers represent a broad geographic scope; the third number further defines a geographic area within that scope, which may be referenced separately. For example, zone code 000 includes the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands. Zone code 001 is defined as a subset covering only the 48 contiguous United States and the District of Columbia. If a reference is made to zone 000, all cities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands would qualify. If reference is made to zone 001, only cities within the 48 contiguous United States and the District of Columbia would qualify.
