Now, the company is using that experience — as well as its similar work for other fire-devastated local governments like Santa Rosa, Calif. — to offer other communities the same services. ProudCity Recovers, announced April 3, is a package for local governments going through disasters to swiftly set up an online presence from which to disseminate information and services.
The website theme, which ProudCity demonstrates here, includes a mobile-responsive design, a news section, event calendar, social media feed, search functionality and content sections for several common concerns in a disaster — shelter locations, information about animals, evacuation routes, financial assistance and more.
The company also offers a governance template, suggesting how a local government might manage their recovery website.
"As disasters become more routine, digital response and recovery preparedness is critical," wrote CEO Luke Fretwell in a blog post. "Governments can no longer build these operations reactively while simultaneously responding to an active natural disaster and expect to effectively serve their communities at the height of a crisis."
