GovDelivery Subscription Service

The City of San Ramon Launches New Email Subscription Service to Better Serve Residents

SAN RAMON, California, July 1st, 2009 -- The City of San Ramon is launching a new email and digital subscription solution to enhance the way City residents receive and access municipal information.

As part of the website enhancement, the City of San Ramon is implementing a subscription service which will allow residents to subscribe to topics of interest and receive free, instant email alerts when this information is updated. Another wonderful feature is that it functions as a FREE Public Alert System that allows for instant notification in emergency situations.  Subscribers will receive real-time Crime Bulletins and Emergency Alerts both via email and wirelessly. In order to receive these time-sensitive emergency notifications, you MUST subscribe to the service by clicking here.

We also have a cool little Emergency Alerts widget that can be shared in a variety of mediums: email, placement on your iGoogle page, Facebook page, etc… or you can even copy it to your website. The widget works as a window that displays all the Emergency Alerts we send out via the GovDelivery program in chronological order (newest to oldest).  Anyone can go to our Emergency Response page on our website and get a complete update of the events as they occur. It also gives you the opportunity to subscribe to receive these alerts via email and/or wireless text by entering your email address in the RECEIVE EMAIL UPDATES field.  In the event of a real disaster, a copy of this widget will be placed on our HOME page for the highest website visibility. If you are interested in sharing our widget, click on the GET AND SHARE link found at the bottom of the widget’s window and it will do its magic.

City officials are excited that the system will help residents get the information they want as quickly and efficiently as possible. “We’re very proud to be the first city in Contra Costa County to offer this kind of service to our citizens,” said Mayor Abram Wilson. “It exemplifies our ongoing commitment to provide efficient delivery of quality public services to those who live and work in San Ramon, through an accessible and responsive city government. The city is constantly looking for innovative ways to expand and improve our digital community. This new system offers personalized email and text message updates from our city, putting you in control of the types of information you receive, the time frame in which it is communicated, and the means by which it is delivered.”

The City of San Ramon will launch the subscription service throughout its website at www.sanramon.ca.gov on July 1, 2009. Signing up is free, easy, and risk-free for residents. Links to sign up are found on the City web site home page and on the individual pages that are being offered up for subscription or simply by clicking here. The only information required is an email address, and subscribers can change their subscription details or cancel the service at any time.
