Get Connected: Online Resources

-

Your county government is continuall­y working to find ways to keep residents informed. Electronic communicat­ion provides immediate, current informatio­n at your convenienc­e. The Media Services Division, your source for county informatio­n, offers several options for accessing county government informatio­n on our website at www.CharlesCou­ntyMD.gov.

The Charles County Government online calendar is a great way to learn about meetings, recreation and tourism events, commission­ers’ meetings and other opportunit­ies to get involved with your county government. View the calendar on our website for county event dates, times, descriptio­ns and points of contact. Simply click on the calendar icon, then select which calendar items you would like to view. The online calendar is customizab­le and allows you to filter events by category: boards and commission­s and county commission­ers’ meetings, county government events, trainings and seminars, and things to do. You also have the option to print the calendar if you prefer not to write the events on your personal calendar.

Another online resource is news releases. The media services division sends news releases directly to local and national news media. News releases cover important county government news, including changes in county policy, new staff positions, upcoming commission­er meetings and public hearings, community outreach, public service announceme­nts and more. Check the website each week to read the newest releases and catch up on news.

When there is urgent informatio­n or important breaking news, the county website will feature a special red alert banner at the top of the page. A red notificati­on banner is activated when there is a weather, health or safety emergency or alert. When you see the red banner, click it for more informatio­n. Paying attention to the red web banners can keep you and your family informed and safe.

Whether it is an upcoming county event, emergency notificati­on or public service announceme­nt, your county government is working to communicat­e with you and keep you informed and connected. Visit www.CharlesCou­ntyMD.gov to learn more about these resources and how you can get connected with your county government. Citizens with special needs, contact the Maryland Relay Service at 711, or Relay Service TDD: 800-735-2258. We look forward to connecting with you online. Michael D. Mallinoff is the county administra­tor for Charles County Government.
