Francis City announced the launch of TextMyGov, a messaging service intended to provide a convenient way for residents to communicate with city officials. The service allows for both receiving information and reporting various issues through text messaging.
The service offers two distinct communication methods. For one-way notifications, residents can text the keyword FRANCIS to 91896 and reply YES to opt-in. These notifications may include information regarding city meetings, events, road closures, and storm warnings.
For two-way communication, residents can text a greeting such as Hi, Hello, or Hey to 435.280.4880. This option allows users to ask questions or report issues by texting a keyword that summarizes the problem, such as weeds, noise, water issues, or a damaged sign.
TextMyGov does not require a dedicated app to use. Residents can opt out of notifications at any time by texting STOP. More information regarding terms and privacy policies is available at textmygov.com/opt-in-terms-conditions.
