When conditions deteriorate, Denver utilizes a multi-tiered emergency communications architecture known as DenverREADY to broadcast immediate threats:
Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA): These are automatic, geographically targeted text broadcasts sent directly to all capable mobile devices in the hazard zone. No sign-up is required for these life-safety messages.
Reverse Emergency Notifications (REN): A system managed through the City and County of Denver Alert Portal, allowing residents to register specific locations (home, work, or school) to receive custom landline calls, text alerts, or emails during severe localized events.
Outdoor Warning Sirens: A network of physical sirens designed to signal individuals who are outdoors to seek shelter immediately and check local broadcast media for instructions.
