Local government agencies must have systems in place to reach all residents and staff in emergent and non-emergent situations. In an emergency, that means being able to send life-saving alerts to community members through multiple channels while keeping employees updated with clear instruction. On a day-to-day basis, it means boosting resident satisfaction with news tailored to individual preferences and making it easier for staff to collaborate on government initiatives.
The CivicPlus Mass Notifications system offers a powerful solution to protect and engage residents within a single platform for sending multi-channel internal, external, emergency and non-emergency alerts. Local governments can unlock the full potential of this tool and see increased resident engagement by integrating it with a centralized online hub: the CivicPlus Portal. This integration presents staff and residents with a one-stop, frictionless digital workflow to enhance the civic experience.
On March 26th 2024, local government technology experts Cari Tate and Phil Claiborne hosted a live webinar exploring the impact of integrating our Mass Notification solution with the CivicPlus portal. The recorded presentation gives an overview of key benefits and dives into real-world scenarios that demonstrate how this integration transforms resident communications. It also reveals ways to:
- Improve the Resident Experience. Upgrade the resident sign-up process for mass notifications with increased user-friendliness, mobile responsiveness, and WCAG accessibility to enhance inclusivity.
- Streamline Communication for PIOs. The CivicPlus Portal acts as a central hub for communication professionals and PIOs, simplifying workflows and ensuring effective message delivery.
- Align to Support Local Government Goals. More engagement with mass notifications leads to higher conversion rates in multi-product opportunities, supporting sales goals and Gross Revenue Retention.
