The City of Decatur uses multiple channels to relay information to the community, especially during an emergency. These range from the low-tech (e.g. Decatur Focus newsletter and signs posted on city buildings) to the latest social media apps. Here are the major ways the city currently communicates during an emergency:
- DecaturGa.com (the city’s website)
- TheDecaturMinute.com (the city’s blog)
- Facebook and Twitter
- Smart911 (emergency alerting system)
- NextDoor
Do you use any or all of the above? Do you have one outlet you like best? The city is interested in learning more about how residents and business owners prefer to receive communication. Visit, http://www.decaturga.com/whats-new/open-city-hall#peak_democracy to provide your input.
