Everbridge Adds Major Higher Education
Institution to Growing Cluster of Customers within the Southern
California Region
Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), a global software company that
provides critical event management and enterprise safety
applications to help keep people safe and businesses running, today
announced that the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
will be using Everbridge’s Critical Event Management platform to
help keep students, staff and faculty safe and informed during
crisis situations.
Campuses nationwide are unfortunately seeing an influx in
violence. According to the Violent Victimization of College
Students report, students report about 526,000 violent crimes each
year, 128,000 of those which “involved a weapon or serious injury
to the victim.” Further complicating the issue is the fact that
UCLA’s campus has thousands of people – including parents, campus
visitors and sports fans – on the grounds at any given time, which
can make it difficult to communicate effectively. Everbridge’s
Critical Event Management platform enables campus officials to keep
the campus community informed and able to react quickly to a
dynamic situation such as a school lockdown, criminal threat or
severe weather.
“Everbridge makes sending alerts to individuals faster and more
efficient while simultaneously activating on premise alerting
hardware with the same message,” said Art Kirkland, Director,
Office of Emergency Management, UCLA. “Everbridge’s proven platform
is a crucial piece of our security strategy aimed at ensuring the
safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors at all
times.”
Everbridge serves numerous educational institutions including
major universities such as California Institute of Technology,
University of Maryland College-Park and University of Oregon. In
addition, the company often serves state and local governments,
hospitals, and transit hubs in the same area as the schools,
facilitating coordination in response to major events. For example,
within the southern California region, Everbridge serves Orange
County, Ventura County, Los Angeles County EMS, Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s Department (LASD), Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD),
Los Angeles World Airports (Los Angeles International Airport –
LAX), as well as leading healthcare organizations such as Molina
Healthcare and PIH Health.
“Campus safety professionals have an increasingly complex and
difficult job to do and we are committed to supporting their
efforts,” said Jaime Ellertson, CEO of Everbridge. “UCLA has taken
an important step in giving students, staff, faculty and even
parents piece of mind that they will be safe even though they may
be far from home.”
