Management website to prepare for and navigate emergencies such as an extended
power outage or severe weather. For example, you can sign up for ALERT Renton to
get emergency notifications via phone, text, or email as well as download the
Renton Responds app to report downed trees and blocked drains. For our part, the
City’s operations crews are tested and ready for higher-than-average precipitation
and colder-than-average temperatures, including snow. Visit our website for
information and get prepared!
