Official news and alerts that reach your residents
Cities, counties, fire districts, schools, libraries, and other public entities publish news, safety alerts, meetings, and notices on The Slope free. Residents nearby get notified automatically, and there's nothing to install or budget for.
Free forever for core tools. Verified entities only.
The tools your public information work actually needs
Built for cities, counties, towns, fire districts, school districts, libraries, utilities, parks and rec, law enforcement, and chambers. Use what fits and skip the rest.
Alerts that find the people near them
Post a road closure, advisory, or evacuation notice and The Slope notifies subscribed residents nearby on its own. No call list to maintain and no alerting contract to buy.
- Road closures, advisories, and evacuation notices in one place
- Nearby subscribed residents are notified automatically
- Alerts appear on the regional emergency hub the moment you publish
A notices board residents actually see
Post legal and public notices, ordinances, meeting agendas and minutes, job openings, and RFPs to one public board. It costs your office nothing to publish and costs residents nothing to read.
- Legal and public notices, ordinances, agendas, and minutes
- Job postings, RFPs, and bid announcements
- Every notice gets a public link you can share anywhere
Resident reports, sorted into one inbox
Residents report potholes, outages, downed signs, and anything else straight from your public page. Reports land in one inbox your staff can work through, instead of scattered calls and forwarded emails.
- Potholes, outages, and everything in between, in one queue
- Your staff sees new reports as they come in
- Works the day your entity is verified, nothing to set up
A verified page, run by your whole team
Your entity gets a verified public profile that collects everything you publish: news under your byline, alerts, events and public meetings, preparedness pages, and notices. Staff accounts have roles, so nobody shares a login.
- A verified badge so residents know the source is official
- Roles for staff, with publishing under the entity byline
- Sign-ups from your official email domain join automatically
