Community Outreach Efforts

Santa Paula city is working on a report for the City Council next months on new ways to reach out to the community. They are thinking of starting an email newsletter that would be once a month or so. They also have thought about a sign-up for getting emails from the Police and Fire Departments in the event of an emergency. Question: Does this make sense? Would you sign up for such emails? Are there other electronic outreach efforts they should consider? What say you??
