Everbridge

Everbridge enables residents and businesses to self-enroll to receive various types of emergency alerts, severe weather warnings and community notifications.

Customized Alerts

Subscribers can enter notification interests, preferred contact methods, locations, as well as language, special needs, and delivery preferences. Additionally, subscribers select the types of alerts they want to receive.

Severe Weather Alerts

Everbridge directs alerts to public subscribers who are in the direct path of the storm, providing advanced warning of severe weather. Everbridge receives direct feeds from the National Weather Service and automatically interprets the geographic area affected, and delivers targeted alerts immediately to subscribers in the impact area, with no staff action required.

Public Safety Alerts

Deliver emergency alerts from the state and public safety agencies, notifying subscribers of situations that threaten their personal safety such as crime / imminent danger, hazardous materials, and need for immediate evacuation, based on the subscriber’s location(s) and alert preferences.

Community Notifications

Deliver notifications of events of interest to the subscriber, such as road closures, power outages and school weather closures.
