BeHeard 311 · Resident Reporting

A pin on the map, and the report lands in one staff queue.

No phone tree, and no guessing which inbox a pothole report should go to.

BeHeard gives residents one place to report a problem: a category, a pin on the map or an address, and a description. Reports land in one triage queue, where staff set the status and priority, assign a department and reply in the same thread. Residents can report anonymously when they would rather not give a name. BeHeard 311 is in pilot with our launch partner.

A resident chooses what needs attention.

Step 1 of 5: Pick the issue
Illustrative screens with demo data
01

Report it once, and staff see it in one queue

A resident opens the app, chooses a category such as Roads & potholes or Streetlights, drops a pin or enters an address, and describes the problem. The report lands in a single triage queue, so nothing sits in a general inbox waiting for someone to notice it. The city preset covers roads, streetlights and utilities, sanitation and dumping, parks, noise, downed power lines, abandoned vehicles and more, and you can add your own.

02

An anonymous option, and an Urgent tag that stands out

Some reports, a safety concern or a neighbor dispute, are easier to make without a name. BeHeard supports that, and an anonymous reporter can still check back and reply through a private link. Each report has a status and a priority, and urgent reports carry an Urgent tag so they stand out in the queue.

✓
Anonymous or identified: the resident chooses at submit
✓
A private two-way thread: an anonymous reporter can reply without ever giving a name
✓
Status and priority: new, acknowledged, in review, resolved or dismissed; routine, urgent or life-safety
✓
An Urgent tag: urgent reports stand out in the queue and notify the team

Staff reply in the thread; an anonymous reporter reads it with a private link and never gives a name.

Reports and replies are translated, so each side reads their own language.
Machine translation lets a resident report in their language and staff read it in theirs. People triage every report and assign the department.

Questions we hear

Common questions

Is BeHeard 311 for emergencies?

No. Residents should call 911 for emergencies. BeHeard handles non-emergency reports and is not monitored around the clock.

Who sees an anonymous report?

The staff you set up to triage reports. The reporter's name is not collected, and they can follow the thread with a private link.

Does a report go to the right department automatically?

Not yet. Reports land in one queue and staff assign the department at triage.

Can residents attach a photo?

Not yet. Photo attachments are on the list of work still to come, and this page does not claim them.

Do we have to turn it on ourselves?

No. Bloomz sets BeHeard 311 up for your city during onboarding.
