Webinar Replay: Managing Incidents and Events through Resident and Community Engagement

Date/Time: Thursday, October 22, 2015, 2:00 PM (ET)/11:00 AM (PT)
Speaker:
Steve Goldman, MIT

Residents and Community Groups have several means to obtain needed information. Typically when it comes to area events such as a local festival or critical incidents such as a major traffic accident, they will go to their most trusted and reliable sources. Municipal organizations such as Law Enforcement and Public Agencies should be in this set of sources. However without trust or awareness, their constituents will not listen to or even be able to hear the message. So how do municipal organizations bridge this communication gap?

During the webinar “Managing Incidents and Events through Resident and Community Engagement,” Dr. Goldman discusses how municipal organizations should develop and deliver information to ensure those they serve are well informed.
