Gobierno USA.gov

GobiernoUSA.gov is the official web portal of the United States Government in Spanish. It is the sister site of USA.gov, the official web portal of the U.S. Government in English. "Gobierno" is Spanish for "government."

GobiernoUSA.gov provides official U.S. Government information and services in Spanish in a user-friendly way. It gives Spanish speakers access to government information and services, original articles, and social media channels.

GobiernoUSA.gov is not a direct translation of USA.gov, but rather a social and cultural adaptation designed to address the unique information needs of Spanish speakers. It reaches out to readers by using the latest Internet communication tools as well as through community collaboration.

During natural disasters, GobiernoUSA.gov provides official, centralized U.S. Government information for Spanish speakers. In 2005, the portal aggregated official information in Spanish in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, offering information about federal and state benefits as well as assistance programs for disaster victims. The site adopted a similar response during the 2007 Southern California wildfires, which burned more than 1,500 homes.

GobiernoUSA.gov is part of the Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies in the U.S. General Services Administration.
