Map town meeting agenda items, police reports and parks
Easily display any number of civic meeting agenda items as managed content on a Google or Virtual Earth map – right on your site. Show residents how close a proposed project is to their home or business and make it easy for them to learn more, map area recreational locations or items from your local police blotter.
Gather feedback from residents and demonstrate positive response
Let residents easily notify you of potential problems, 24/7, while at the same time, reduce incoming call volume. Update the status of the reported problem and demonstrate that you have taken action on the report. As the pothole reporting system demonstrates, with Ektronville.gov all this can be done right out of the box.
Post and send emergency alerts with just one click
On Ektronville.gov, blogs become your residential notification system. When the community is faced with sudden issues or emergencies, police, fire and other personnel can provide public service announcements, weather alerts and even terrorism advisories, using the Ektron CMS400.NET blog's RSS Feeds and e-mail subscriptions.
Unfiltered communication with residents
Elected officials and boards can blog and communicate directly with their constituents. Your positions no longer need to be filtered by a third party. Images on posts help officials let the electorate know who they are and, combined with Ektron's forums and polls, you can provide a platform for a constructive conversation on local issues.
Ensure access for all
With its ability to enforce section 508 compliance on content authors and complete support for the translation-industry stand .XLIFF format, Ektron CMS400.NET guarantees that community members will be able to access information on your site regardless of disability or their native language.
