Local Alert Service

There are thousands of local governments in the United States; the fact that every local jurisdiction operates differently, and publicizes the actions and decisions of its legislative, administrative, and purchasing bodies in so many varied ways - if at all - presents huge challenges to government relations, community relations, and sales and marketing professionals interested in keeping up with particular issues, trends and procurements. MultiState offers a service to allow clients to stay abreast of issues at the local level.

MultiState's Local Alert Service, covering population centers from 8,000,000 to 45,000, is nationwide and comprehensive.

It includes:

• The largest 1800 local jurisdictions across the nation;
• All 50 state capital cities; and
• Every city and county in the state of California.

Our Local Team researches city and county information, identifying websites, contacts, and other resources, and developing relationships to create a dynamic internal database containing information on council and committee agendas, hearings, minutes, meetings and schedules for proposed ordinances, procurements, or other local actions. Every jurisdiction in our database is monitored through MultiState's own system of agenda and schedule checks for new and follow-up actions of interest to a client.

Our professionals continuously scour these information sources for new developments and new actions throughout the U.S., pinpointing specific items that are important to you and alerting you immediately by electronic mail. These "alerts" form the core of our Local Alert Service. Our goal is to provide advance notice on a new action item or procurement as soon as it is uncovered by our Local Team.

Recently, we have developed a special focused service to deliver Local Alerts on new opportunities in the fast-developing business of municipal wireless access. These Muniwireless opportunities have been compiled into a dynamic database of more than 300 listings available to prime and subcontractors on a subscription basis.

When our Local Alert Service identifies key issues of great importance to you, MultiState can also provide on-going reporting and lobbying in those locales as necessary.

This service will assure that you have a good handle on the local issues affecting your organization. No more surprises. No more finding out about some critical action or precedent-setting decision after the fact.
