Everbridge Platform to Enhance Citizen Safety (Graphic: Business

This year marks the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, the
costliest and most devastating storm to impact New Jersey. As
learned during Sandy, and subsequent severe weather events that
affected the Garden State, a critical part of any crisis response
is the ability to share accurate information in a timely manner to
the right population.
Resident Connection enables Everbridge customers to target
potentially life-saving communications to impacted areas by simply
drawing geo-fenced shapes on a map, allowing local, county, and
state government leaders to quickly and accurately reach the
largest number of people in those zones. Recipients may include the
most vulnerable and often underserved populations, such as
residents with special needs; dependence on supplemental oxygen or
medications; cognitive, visual, or hearing impairment; and those
lacking Internet access.
Additionally, through Everbridge, New Jersey State Police is now
able to access FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert & Warning System
(IPAWS), which utilizes several communication pathways to reach the
public, including: the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to deliver
alerts via AM, FM and satellite radio, as well as broadcast, cable
and satellite TV; Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) to deliver
notifications to cell phones and mobile devices based on location,
even if cellular networks are overloaded and can no longer support
calls, text and emails; and integration with voice sirens, digital
road signs, and emergency telephone networks.
“First responders work around the clock to protect citizens from
critical events like wildfires, hurricanes and the pandemic,” said
Francis Willett, Principal Product Manager for Everbridge Public
Safety. “New Jersey is ahead of the curve when it comes to ensuring
that the public receives potentially life-saving information, while
at the same time improving message timeliness and accuracy when a
crisis demands their full attention.”
Everbridge serves more than 300 organizations throughout the
state of New Jersey, including local and county governments,
hospitals, schools, retailers, corporations, and financial services
providers. Everbridge also supports the states of Connecticut,
Florida, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Oregon, and West
Virginia; the 18 local jurisdictions comprising the National
Capital Region (NCR); and thousands of municipal, territorial, and
tribal governments, including 22 of the 25 largest U.S. cities.
