Everbridge,
Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management
software that helps keep people safe and businesses running, today
announced that its mass notification solution will be used to power
alerts for Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee in times of
emergency. The Metro Emergency Alert & Notification System (MEANS)
will deliver safety instructions via cellphone, landline, and SMS for
localized emergencies such as flooding, public health emergencies or
active shooter situations.
“This is an important way for us to keep the community updated on
incidents happening in Nashville and Davidson County,” said Chief
William Swann, Director, Nashville Fire Department. “The Everbridge
system will be leveraged by Metro Government to communicate directly to
the public. Residents and visitors can feel confident that when they
receive alerts, they are getting accurate information straight from a
Metro public safety agency.”
Metro officials also urge residents to download the Everbridge
Mobile App, which brings the added security of delivering alerts to
cell phones based on a user’s physical location at the time of an
emergency.
“The Everbridge app provides Metro with a key alerting capability
because it enables us to send safety instructions to residents who
happen to be in the vicinity of an emergency in real time,” said
Department of Emergency Communication’s Director Michele Donegan.
Nashville joins a growing list of America’s largest cities, counties,
and entire states that have rolled out the Everbridge platform including
the cities of New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Atlanta, Houston,
Phoenix, San Francisco, Tampa, and Washington, DC; hundreds of counties
including Napa, Sonoma, Ventura, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Cook, Harris,
and Maricopa; and the states of Florida, Connecticut, Vermont, and New
York.
