As US cities and counties began to reopen, local government leaders were confronted with the complex challenge of balancing the reopening of businesses and services with the need to prevent and contain COVID-19 outbreaks. This delicate balancing act required thoughtful planning and clear communication to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents. One of the most pressing concerns was how cities could maintain transparent and ongoing communication with their communities, ensuring that residents felt confident in the reopening process and complied with health guidelines.
In this webinar, we explore how cities like Pasco, WA, and Chula Vista, CA, navigated these challenges. The discussion centers on the strategies these cities employed to communicate effectively with their residents, fostering trust and encouraging adherence to public health measures. Additionally, we delve into the metrics and data that local leaders considered when making decisions about lifting restrictions on parks, pools, and other public facilities.
