Text Keyword MARDIGRAS17 to 888-777 to Receive
Critical Safety and Event Information from the City of New Orleans
and Everbridge During the Annual Celebration
Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVBG), a global software company that
provides critical communications and enterprise safety applications
to help keep people safe and businesses running, today announced
its Community Engagement® notification system will be used to help
keep New Orleans area residents and visitors safe and informed in
the days leading up to and during this year’s Mardi Gras
celebration on February 28.
The opt-in process is simple: residents, visitors and Mardi Gras
attendees can simply text the keyword MARDIGRAS17 to 888-777 to
receive the latest safety information and updates from the New
Orleans Mayor’s Office and the Office of Homeland Security and
Emergency Preparedness (NOHSEP) throughout the event. Current
subscribers in the New Orleans area will continue to receive their
regular local alerts from Everbridge and can choose to opt-in to
MARDIGRAS17 for Mardi Gras specific information.
“During large-scale events, the ability to share near real-time
alerts and information directly with area residents, visitors and
attendees is essential to helping keep everyone safe – whether
they’re attending the event, or simply happen to live or work
nearby,” said Joel Rosen, CMO of Everbridge. “Our technology gives
the City of New Orleans and the Office of Homeland Security and
Emergency Preparedness the ability to connect local officials, New
Orleans area residents and Mardi Gras attendees at any time
throughout the celebration.”
Community Engagement, powered by Everbridge, is a service that
has been successfully deployed at similar large scale events which
attract visitors from out of town, including the 2017 Presidential
Inauguration, Super Bowl 50, Coachella and the Pope’s historic
visit to the city of Philadelphia in 2015. It is also regularly
used by officials during severe weather situations, including the
recent Oroville Dam crisis as well as Hurricane Matthew in 2016.
The Community Engagement solution offers residents and visitors an
easy, event-based keyword opt-in process to improve communication
reach for emergency, safety and public information personnel.

service allows local officials, residents and area attendees to
