Everbridge, Inc., the world's recognized leader in incident
notification and management solutions, announced the successful
testing of Everbridge Aware® by the City of Chicopee, MA. This
city-wide test of the Everbridge solution demonstrated the
performance and speed required by Chicopee officials, and met all
of the city's expectations. The City of Chicopee recently selected
Everbridge Aware to provide reliable emergency and incident
notifications to its residents.
"A measure of how effective we would consider an emergency
notification system to be is speed of delivery. When you consider
that 97% of all devices were contacted within the first 15 minutes
of the test broadcast, we think that meets any standard for fast
and effective communication," said Frank Cervone, Senior Network
Engineer, City of Chicopee.
"We spent a long time reviewing options in the market. When we
decided to adopt a system, we wanted to make sure we had the best
we could find," Cervone continued. "We really like the extensive
set of custom tools, as well as two-way interaction in the
notification process that Everbridge Aware offers us. The ability
to send information and get real-time situational information back
from our citizens is amazing technology."
