State of Florida Renews Statewide Contract and Deploys Everbridge Mobile App to Enhance AlertFlorida for 20 Million Residents and Visitors

Business Wire

Smartphone application adds innovative Location-Based Warnings and Situational Awareness Maps features to Everbridge’s award-winning platform

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management and enterprise safety applications to help keep people safe and businesses running, today announced a statewide rollout of its Mobile Safety App, in partnership with the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM). The State of Florida has recently renewed its agreement with Everbridge for a third full year as the service provider for AlertFlorida, which has become one of the most comprehensive and coordinated statewide emergency notification programs in the country.

AlertFlorida, managed by FDEM and powered by Everbridge, distributes critical information to residents and visitors, and is used by nearly every county within the state. The Everbridge Mobile App adds critical new functionality to Florida’s emergency notification program, keeping residents and travelers informed as this year’s hurricane season gets underway.

“Natural disasters like Hurricanes Irma and Matthew remind us all just how important it is to be prepared and to effectively share safety information and instructions with residents when the worst happens,” explained Jaime Ellertson, CEO of Everbridge. “Reliability of critical communications is essential during such events, both for individuals at risk and for organizations to address disruptions to their business operations.”

During critical events like hurricanes, tropical storms and floods, message paths can often be compromised by low bandwidth or connectivity issues, highlighting the importance of having more than one way to reach residents. The Everbridge App offers that additional channel to receive critical alerts directly on your phone. In addition, the Everbridge App has introduced several new features including location-based push alerts when entering high-risk Incident Zones, and a searchable map of local active notifications.

“With an increasingly mobile population, we needed an on-the-go solution that would reach our residents and tourists who regularly travel throughout the state,” said Wes Maul, Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management. “I’m confident the Everbridge App will help us share information quickly and reliably during emergency situations.”
