Nextdoor for Public Agencies: Enhanced Features for Better Community Engagement

We're thrilled to announce significant enhancements to Nextdoor for Public Agencies, designed to improve situational awareness and strengthen community connections. 

New Viewing and Engagement Options 

We've updated the "Viewing posts from your agency" section on your Nextdoor public agency page to provide a more comprehensive view of local information. Located just below the four post types, this area now includes four dedicated tabs:

• My Agency: Easily manage and review your agency's own posts in one centralized location.
• Agencies in my jurisdiction: View and engage with content from other agencies within your operational area.
• All nearby agencies: Monitor posts from neighboring Nextdoor agencies and alerting partners in your broader region.
• All nearby news publishers: Stay informed with local news and information from vetted local publishers.

Key Benefits

These enhanced options enable your agency to:

• Improve situational awareness by monitoring the broader context of local events and discussions
• Enhance collaboration through direct engagement with other agencies, alert partners, and news publishers
• Amplify important messages by sharing relevant content from other sources while adding your agency's perspective
