Platform to Power NY-ALERT Program Providing
Multi-Modal, Location-Aware Alerting
Everbridge, a global software company that provides
critical event management and enterprise safety applications to
help keep people safe and businesses running faster, today
announced that the New York State Office of Information Technology
Services (ITS) has selected Everbridge as the new mass notification
service provider for its state-wide NY-ALERT program. The
Everbridge system was selected partially based on its established
scalability and reliability in order to support plans to grow the
subscriber base of NY-ALERT.
NY-ALERT disseminates public safety information such as Amber
Alerts, sex offender alerts, weather warnings and evacuation
notifications throughout the state. The system uses multiple
communication methods including SMS, email, IPAWS, reverse 911 and
social media to send geographically-targeted alerts. Citizens can
subscribe to alerts at www.nyalert.gov/home. Government agencies
and other authorized organizations also use the system to send
notifications to specific groups.
“We are delighted to partner with the New York State Office of
ITS on NY-ALERT,” said Jaime Ellertson, CEO of Everbridge. “New
York has been at the forefront in providing emergency
communications and now they will be able to leverage the Everbridge
platform to enhance the program’s efficacy. You don’t need to look
very far into the news these days to see how important such
state-wide programs are to keeping citizens safe.”
