Public space is an important part of how residents connect with their community, a lesson many American cities learned during the coronavirus pandemic as streets and sidewalks became outdoor dining spaces and municipal buildings became testing and vaccination sites.

Disasters come in all shapes and sizes. So too do new offerings to help state and local governments recover as quickly as possible. Government agencies often turn to Disaster Recovery as a Service to ensure a rapid return to operations. The goal is to replicate both data and infrastructure offsite — often in the cloud.

Everyone connects horror and Halloween, but summer is the perfect time to give yourself a fright. Summer travels can lead you to places with mysterious pasts, campfires were made for telling ghost stories, thunderstorms abound, and even the most charming B&B can make strange noises in the night.

But it’s challenging to gauge in the public sector, where the goals are complex and quantitative measures cannot always reflect the values of an agency’s mission and public service. So, effective measurement in government has a qualitative component. And that requires creative thinking about what outcomes are important and how to calculate them.
