Coloradans Can Now Receive Flag Status Notifications through Gov2Go

Is the flag at half-staff or full-staff and why? Coloradans have
a new and convenient way to always know the answer. Gov2Go—the
first, personal government assistant—will send notifications to
their cell phones when there is a flag status update.
“Our service desk for the state’s official website,
Colorado.gov, fields a good number of questions about flag status.
It’s a popular topic,” said Colorado Interactive’s President and
General Manager, Mike Ansley. “With Gov2Go already notifying
citizens about services they need to take care of, such as vehicle
registration renewals, it also provides an efficient way to notify
them about flag status.”
After citizens download Gov2Go at
https://www.colorado.gov/sipa/gov2go and create an account, they
select Flag Status Updates from the services menu. When the state
of Colorado issues a flag status update, Gov2Go will send citizens
a notification by text and email. Text notifications will contain
the flag status (half- or full-staff) and the reason for it. Email
notifications will provide complete details.
“One of the coolest features on the Governor’s website, for some
years now, has been flag status updates,” said SIPA Executive
Director, Jack Arrowsmith. “With Gov2Go, we can take flag status
information and push it to citizens’ phones. Just another way that
Gov2Go is increasing transparency and easier access to government
information.”
Colorado Interactive (CI) and the Statewide Internet Portal
Authority (SIPA) added Flag Status Updates as a service in Gov2Go.
CI, an NIC company, provides digital government services to state
agencies, local governments and educational entities through a

government leaders to focus on delivering on-demand, digital
government solutions without requests for proposals or the use of
tax appropriations. The CI and SIPA partnership has benefited more
than 40 state-department programs.
