disruptions, incidents or emergencies.
Introducing
RPIN eNews, short for Regional Public
Information Network. Subscribers to the free service have the option
of receiving either "breaking news" announcements or "transportation
alerts" issued by road and transit agencies.
RPIN eNews will make it easier for you to instantly
receive critical information on a variety of topics such as snow,
flooding, transportation disruptions, health or public safety concerns and
any other situation you may need to know about.
By logging into our Web site at GOVLINK.org you can
also track the latest information being posted by participating RPIN
partners, and access a comprehensive list of links to information about
traffic conditions, transit service, flooding, coping with power
disruptions, and preparing for emergencies.
Representatives from King, Pierce and Snohomish
Counties were joined by the Washington State Department of Transportation
and National Weather Service this week to
announce the launch of RPIN eNews and the fifth annual "Taking Winter
By Storm" campaign.
Agencies are also sponsoring a recorded information
line, (206) 205-6700, that provides a variety of phone numbers residents
can call to obtain information before and during bad weather. The agencies
have also produced a new "Taking Winter by Storm" winter travel brochure
that will feature maps detailing selected city, county and state priority
snow routes.
