Content: The hope is that this trust will inspire citizens to become involved in their communities. As the relationship builds between governments and citizens, over time, citizens will come to realize that their concerns matter. Community engagement keeps citizens informed on the projects that affect their taxes and their lives. Citizens gain assurance that their local government is well-prepared to handle emergencies. Engagement also helps to inform voters about their choices at the polls. Fortunately, technology gives local governments a multitude of ways to communicate. Print, television, radio, online media, social media, text, and e-alerts are all communication channels for local governments to consider using. In moving forward, it will help local government staff and officials to remember the basics of good communication. Communication has three parts—the sender, the message, and the receiver. Messages can easily be distorted or changed when noise interferes with them.
