Global Critical Event Management (CEM) leader
part of winning bid to modernize state’s emergency alerting
platform
Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the leader in critical event
management, today announced it is part of the team of providers
that have been awarded a five-year contract with the State of
California to upgrade the state’s outdated 9-1-1 system to a new
Next Generation 911 emergency alerting platform. The win represents
the largest state contract in Everbridge’s history.
In partnership with Atos Public Safety LLC, which will serve as
the Prime Network Service Provider (PNSP) for the initiative, the
Everbridge Platform will enable a statewide common delivery system
for alerts and warnings. The effort is a vital step forward in
making the state better prepared to assist those in need during
emergencies and natural disasters. With this contract, California
joins the growing list of Everbridge’s statewide deployments, which
also includes New York, Florida, Vermont, and Connecticut.
The statewide contract is managed by The California Governor’s
Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), which is responsible for
overseeing emergency preparedness, response, and homeland security
activities within the state. In partnership with Atos, Everbridge
will not only provide the robust multi-modality alerting
infrastructure but will serve as the platform for initiating the
state’s Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS)
communications to ensure world-class emergency alert delivery to
the state’s 38 million residents and all California first
responders.
“The number one priority for any state is keeping its people
safe,” said David Meredith, CEO of Everbridge. “In natural
disasters like earthquakes, wildfires, droughts, and floods,
California has shown time and again it is at the leading edge of
emergency readiness and response. We are proud to work with
numerous states, including California, to support their public
safety goals.”
In addition to enabling a statewide common delivery system for
critical alerts and warnings, and ensuring that those alerts are
quickly and accurately delivered, the Next Generation 911 system is
expected to allow agencies to reroute 911 calls to each other
during disasters, reduce 911 system outages and downtime, support
text to 911, and deliver increased location accuracy for wireless
calls.
“We are actively working with more partners and creating
strategic alliances to best meet the needs of our customers,”
continued Meredith. “Our relationship with Atos is a major proof
point of our ability to work with systems integrators and solution
providers in order to create the most comprehensive solution for
large-scale deployments.”
In addition to being part of the winning bid for California’s
statewide public alert and warning system, Everbridge also powers
many of the state’s major airports, hospitals, Silicon Valley tech
giants, and national parks like Yosemite – and was recently
deployed to support the City of Los Angeles’ NotifyLA program.
Everbridge is also used by 9 of the 10 largest cities in the United
States, along with the entire countries of Australia, Sweden,
Iceland, the Netherlands, Singapore, Greece, and a number of the
largest states in India.
