“Connect-Lafayette Program Launched”
LAFAYETTE – Lafayette City-Parish President Joey Durel and Chief Information Officer Keith Thibodeaux announced a new communication tool called Connect Lafayette at a 1:30 p.m. news conference Friday, April 3, 2009.
The program is designed to record, schedule, send and track thousands of personalized messages (voice, SMS, text messaging, and e-mail) in minutes to residents, businesses, staff, or any combination of these groups.
Lafayette Consolidated Government will now have the ability to alert residents of power outages, hurricane evacuation, street closures, or any other matters that need to be communicated to residents to keep them better informed.
“This is just one more tool that we will have to keep our citizens informed of important issues,” said Lafayette City-Parish President Joey Durel, who cited last year’s train derailment as an example where LCG officials could have mapped out an area around the train derailment and sent an instant message to citizens asking them to evacuate.
Durel will be sending the first communication to residents this evening letting them know about the program, and reminding them that tomorrow is an election day.
