Huntington Beach will be the latest city to interact their citizens like never before using MyHB mobile app. City officials found that 40% of people to the city’s website was from cellular phones. Now with features like Government, Beach Information, Experience HB, City News, Upcoming Events, and Services, citizens will discover it simpler than previously to stay linked with their city with simply a number of taps on his or her mobile device.
Residents and visitors alike are now able to find information about facilities, libraries, points-of-interest as well as the over 100 parks, along with information, telephone numbers, maps and directions, in addition to have accessibility to city council agendas. They can stay informed and up-to-date on the latest happenings and upcoming events with the City News and Upcoming Events sections. The status of requested permits might be checked within the app while using the permit number, APN or property address. Beach Info is probably the most visited track of the city’s website. Now surfers and beach goers will discover beach conditions by incorporating taps within the Citizen engagement . Beach and surf conditions offered by Surfline are fed into the app daily at 7:05am. Capabilities and operations will periodically be added.
Month after month, the city will feature a special tab to focus on a meeting or service that is certainly unique to that particular month. Dynamic information will likely be time sensitive and ever-changing as events come and go. The very first such event would be the city’s upcoming airshow. The app is launching with functionality to market the airshow, providing all pertinent event information and including an FAQ section. Available too, will likely be parking information, and Uber and Lyft drop-off and pick-up locations. Citizens are able to report issues and incidents regarding the airshow that will be received, tracked, and resolved by police and city officials, dependant upon issue type. The info collected will likely be valuable not just to handle the issues as they are reported but to further improve upon citizen experience for many future events.
Be on the lookout for the power to Report an Issue with the app, because the city offers to replace their current issue reporting provider with the MyCivic RAI after the year.
