Everbridge,
Inc.
(NASDAQ:EVBG), the global leader in critical event management,
today announced that it has been awarded a multi-year contract to
support the deployment of Australia’s next-generation national early
warning system.

In combination with Australia’s major telecommunications companies, the
Everbridge Public
Warning
solution will be used to power Emergency
Alert Australia
, providing population-wide alerting to help reach
the country’s over 25 million residents and approximately 9 million
annual visitors. If residing within an area where a sudden, critical
event occurs such as fire, extreme weather or a terror attack, residents
and visitors to Australia will receive location-based SMS notifications
on their mobile phones, in addition to smart phone mobile app
notifications and fixed line voice alerts, among other modalities.

Everbridge Public Warning leverages existing telecom infrastructure,
with no opt-in required, to reach everyone within a geographic area to
reduce disaster risk, support first responder communications, and
analyze disaster communication effectiveness for subsequent mitigation
activities.

“Our Public Warning solution enables government organizations and public
safety agencies to immediately connect with every person in an affected
area during a critical event regardless of nationality, residency or
mobile telephone handset type,” said Jaime Ellertson, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of Everbridge. “Australia has served as a model
example for population-wide alerting and emergency preparedness over the
past decade, and we are honored to support them on the evolution of
their national system.”

The next-generation system is scheduled to become operational in 2020.
