(TNS) — Topeka's city government announced Monday it had created a website to provide information regarding the coronavirus crisis to the public, and that it was asking businesses to use a link to that site to answer questions to help the city identify critical infrastructure services.

City media relations coordinator Molly Hadfield said city government phone numbers, a link businesses can use to report hours and closures and a list of places where city water bills can be paid are all part of the website.

Hadfield said the site includes a link to a survey, which the city is asking businesses to complete to help it identify critical infrastructure services.

She said critical infrastructure includes:

Health care/public health
Law enforcement, public safety and first responder emergency medical response
Food and agriculture
Communications and information technology
Energy
Water and wastewater
Transportation and logistics
Public Works
Critical manufacturing
Hazardous materials
Financial services
Chemical
Defense industrial base
Other community-based government operations and essential functions
