The City of Richardson’s Communications Department has received a Silver Circle Award in the national City-County Communications & Marketing Association’s (3CMA) annual Savvy Awards competition. The honor was presented in the Communications and Marketing Tools/Best Use of Social Media Campaign category for cities with populations of 75,000–150,000.  

Richardson was recognized for its quick and comprehensive social media coverage following the May 28, 2024 storm—efforts that continued for nearly two months as the community recovered.  

Judges praised Richardson’s work, noting: 

  • “Extremely responsive approach to crisis communication” 
  • “Very well coordinated among multiple departments” 
  • “The City of Richardson handled the May 28 storm aftermath with clear, timely, and well-coordinated communication across all their social media platforms. The goal to keep the community informed was front and center, and they really delivered.”
