Public engagement efforts tend to follow a regular ebb and flow, but the arrival of COVID-19 is dramatically changing that. For organizations this crisis is unprecedented, and consistent communication with your community is critical.
Starting today, PublicInput.com is throwing everything we’ve got at helping you prepare and respond to this challenge.
Community Resources
- The PublicInput.com Success Team has created an interactive COVID-19 Engagement Playbook, complete with messaging templates, landing page templates, and survey templates – so you can quickly deploy best practices.
- We’ve been hosting live webinars and trainings on communication during coronavirus, including how to take your public meetings online. Those webinar records are available here.

Announcing Virtual Meeting Tools: Integrated Live Stream, Webinars & Screen sharing
In light of the coronavirus, government organizations are finding themselves in a new landscape when it comes to public engagement. Local, regional, and state governments face two major challenges:
- How can we keep key public processes in place if we can’t hold meetings?
- How can we communicate quickly and consistently with residents with pertinent information related to COVID-19?
- Multiple remote presenters and unlimited attendees
- Screen sharing for presentations
- Easy, no-login access for the general public
- Real-time comments and questions using the PublicInput.com engagement hub
As always, you can chat with us here on our website or schedule a quick call with the success team through Calendly here.
