Everbridge Helps WIRES (Wildlife Information
Rescue and Education Service) Improve Animal Rescue Response Times
in Australia
Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical
event management (CEM) and national public warning software
solutions, today announced the company is marking three years of
proud support for Australia’s largest wildlife rescue organisation,
WIRES (Wildlife Information Rescue and Education Service), a
non-profit providing rescue and rehabilitation for sick, injured,
and orphaned native animals for over 35 years. More than 5,200
WIRES volunteers – across four states in Australia and comprised of
ten different wildlife rescue organisations – use Everbridge and
its xMatters digital service availability solution to communicate
and coordinate wildlife rescues.

“The recent severe flooding across Queensland and New South
Wales was unprecedented in scale and impact on communities, the
environment, and our native wildlife,” said Lucy Clark, Emergency
Response Manager for WIRES. “In March alone, WIRES received around
10,000 rescue calls. During this period, Everbridge proved to be
invaluable yet again, providing us with the ability to get
notifications out to volunteers in affected areas in a timely and
efficient manner. We had hundreds of volunteers and key staff in
these areas, many of whom were carrying out search and rescue. We
were able to quickly create new communications groups to target for
rescue notifications, allowing us to reach our primary response
teams, maintain regular contact with them, and allocate urgent
resources to the flood zones.”
Continued Clark, “Access for rescue teams was extremely
difficult in the immediate aftermath, and we needed to focus on
24/7 phone support for people dealing with displaced wildlife in
addition to urgent logistical support for our volunteers. Many
animals in care needed to be evacuated. Without Everbridge working
away in the background, this task would have been impossible.
Hundreds of exhausted animals were rescued, including orphaned
joeys, wombats and bandicoots, echidnas, and many waterlogged
birds. We believe that with our coordinated emergency response
efforts and our sophisticated Everbridge software, we provided the
best possible outcomes for our precious wildlife. We are so
grateful for your support and state-of-the-art technology. Together
we can achieve extraordinary things to ensure more animals get the
second chance at life in the wild that they deserve.”
WIRES, in partnership with Everbridge, continues to expand its
reach. Through this “collaborative rescue” program, volunteers from
other animal rescue organisations are incorporated into the
Everbridge-WIRES platform, allowing WIRES to instantly broadcast
notifications to appropriately trained volunteers, no matter what
organisation they are from, getting help to more animals even
faster.
“Donating our services to WIRES was an easy decision for us,”
said Steve Foster, Everbridge Vice President – Australia, New
Zealand & Oceania. “It’s critical that the growing number of
WIRES volunteers receive and share the incident information they
need to save these animals, many of which are already on
Australia’s endangered species list. It is a no-brainer to help
enable organisations like WIRES to supplement their skill sets in
the same way we assist IT professionals in a business
environment.”
In addition to supporting WIRES animal rescue and rehabilitation
efforts, Everbridge powers the emergency alert system for the
entire country of Australia, providing population-wide alerting to
inform and protect the continent’s 34 million residents and annual
visitors. Globally, more local, state, and national governments
deploy the Everbridge Public Safety solutions than any other
provider, offering the ability to reach over two billion residents
and visitors in more than 200 countries and territories.
