In response to the current water shortages, Dun laoghaire Rathdown County Council are using a Blog to inform residents and businesses about the status of water supply interruptions. The blog, called dlremergencyupdates, is being used to convey up to the minute information about where water has been cut off, and when it is anticipated to be back on.

The council have been quick to see the usefulness of a blog as a means of letting people know what’s happening to their water (well they can probably tell the water’s off when they turn the tap on!). Regular updates are being posted. The blog is hosted on Blogspot, one of the most popular blogging platform and there’s a link to the blog from the Council’s main web site.

Blogging

A blog can be set up on a site like Blogspot in a matter of minutes. The advantage is that it can be updated easily, the posts are immediate (in real-time), no technical knowledge is required and the cost is zero!

Well done DLRCoCo!
