6.2 CIVICREADY TEST MESSAGE ON MAY 31
The City of Santa Rosa sent out a test message for the Civic Ready function that
City offers to residents. During the test, subscribers received a text message (if
you included your cell phone number) and email (if you included your email
address). This test was used to help the City evaluate the system's efficiency and
allowed users to make any necessary tweaks to their subscriptions preferences.
City staff will go over the test and what we learned from it.
