“As the largest city in the United States, with a significant
population of out-of-area commuters and visitors, we recognized the
need for a highly scalable critical communications system to keep
our residents, businesses and visitors safe and informed during a

support New York City’s emergency mass notification needs. The City
is excited to partner with Everbridge in order to provide critical
services at a reasonable value.”

Critical Event Management platform and used by NYCEM to distribute
geographically-targeted public safety information such as Amber
Alerts, weather warnings, life safety threats, evacuation
notifications and community announcements across multiple
communication methods including SMS, email, IPAWS, telephone and
social media. In addition, over 30 city departments will leverage
Everbridge for internal communications and staffing
notifications.

effective emergency communications to the largest and most diverse
population in the country,” said Jaime Ellertson, CEO of
Everbridge. “We are very excited to partner with the New York City
Emergency Management Department to help optimize this program and
ensure New York City’s continued resilience and preparedness in the
face of an evolving threat environment that includes both natural
