- Emergency Platform to Support Residents in Five First Nations
Communities
- Everbridge Serves Hundreds of Businesses, Government and
Healthcare Organizations Across All Ten Provinces in Canada
Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical
event management (CEM), today announced its growing momentum in
Canada, where the Union of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq (UNSM) recently
rolled out the company’s Mass Notification solution to deliver
local emergency alerts to its five First Nations communities.
Community leaders will be able to send text, phone, and email
alerts in both Mi'kmaq and English to their population of residents
in Eskasoni, Membertou, Potlotek, Wagmatcook and We’koqma’q. The
system represents the first of its kind among Indigenous peoples in
Canada and marks Everbridge’s continued growth in the country,
where more than 200 organizations utilize the Everbridge platform
across every province.

First-of-its-Kind Deployment Among Indigenous Peoples of Canada

“The timing of our deployment of Everbridge is paramount,” said
Jennifer Jesty, emergency management coordinator with the Union of
Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq. “With the possibility of a second wave of
COVID-19, our communities may once again have to go into complete
lockdown. If that happens, updates can be communicated rapidly
which will be critical during a very fluid and ever-changing
situation.”
The system went live on September 1st and within days helped to
reunite a missing teenager with her family. The Union of Nova
Scotia Mi'kmaq sent out their own alert using the new Everbridge
platform, and within one hour the teen was back home with her
mother.
“A Staff Sergeant with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police called
to congratulate us for bringing this case to a quick and happy
conclusion, and I was recently invited by Indigenous Service Canada
to present our work to other departments across the country,”
continued Jesty. “Giving Chiefs decision-making power about alerts
will save time and potentially save lives during critical
situations such as missing persons, severe weather, wildfires and
the coronavirus pandemic.”
There is growing interest in the project as other First Nations
communities see the value in a locally-operated notification
platform which allows Chiefs to dictate their messages in native
languages and send them from a phone or computer.
“With COVID-19 still looming and hurricane season on our
doorstep, this system will be vital in communicating critical
information and updates. Before the deployment of Everbridge, we
were only able to send out mass communication via social media
which meant a lot of the Elders and those without access to social
media were left out. But with Everbridge, we will be able to
communicate on a moment’s notice, not having to rely on outside
agencies and can reach significantly more people during a most
critical time,” said Jesty.
Among many hospitals, schools, public transportation, and
private enterprise customers, Everbridge’s government clients in
Canada include the cities of Vancouver, Halifax, London, Saskatoon,
and Regina, and the provinces of Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan.
Everbridge supports population-wide alerting in 11 countries
across Europe, Asia, Oceania, The Middle East, Africa, and South
America including Australia, Greece, Iceland, India, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Singapore, and Sweden.
Everbridge’s population alerting also powers the entire states of
California, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, Connecticut, and
Florida, as well as cities and counties within 49 of the 50 United
States.
