ALERT Renton is a voluntary emergency notification system. Through ALERT Renton the City can contact you immediately and send you critical emergency information via phone or TDD, text, or email.
This system will be used to send critical information about emergencies that may affect you and quick actions you should take for your own safety.
Register your physical address(es), email address(es), and phone numbers to receive important safety information during an emergency. This service is free and secure.
ALERT Renton is part of a county-wide notifications system called ALERT King County, so no matter where you live or work in the county you will be able to receive emergency messages for your location.
If you need assistance with registration, please email Emergency Management.
