Setting the standard for next-generation population alerting systems with the only all-channel, intelligent critical communication platform to help public authorities protect people when it matters.
Governments and emergency agencies worldwide have a duty to keep people informed before, during, and after critical events. Public Warning Systems enable authorities to rapidly deliver official, vital information to the public—alerting citizens, residents, and visitors about imminent or evolving major emergencies and disasters.
Increasing risks and changing needs requires 21st century population alerting technology
Populations all over the world are exposed to increasing natural and man-made disasters:
- Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, flash floods, city floods, sea level rise, marine pollution, tornadoes, severe storms, hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, wildfires, and volcanic eruptions
- Complex crises and cascading events, large-scale industrial accidents, water shortages/pollution
- Terrorist attacks, civil unrest, special events, active shooter incidents
- Child abduction/missing person cases
- Evacuation orders, lockdowns, and curfews
The Only Unified All-Channel, Intelligent Population Alerting Platform
- For all countries, big or small
- Expandable: from a basic public warning solution to a more sophisticated hybrid and multi-channel setup
- Scalable: from notifications to a limited affected area to reaching millions across an entire country in seconds
- Intelligent: ingest feeds from detection systems, correlate, and provide instant situational awareness
Reach out to everyone via all modalities, including fixed and mobile phones, mobile apps, email, SMS, voice calls, social media posts, sirens, radio, TV, digital signage, and opt-in address-based systems.
Key capabilities
Gain visibility into the affected area for insights into what’s happening
Real-time situational awareness brings intelligence about the numbers and locations of people to shape decision-making when seconds matter, without collecting any personally identifiable data.
Smart hybrid combines the best of mobile device alerting
Combined alerting using Cell Broadcast and Location-Based SMS ensures maximum population reach and allows for a more differentiated alerting approach depending on the critical event—using Cell Broadcast for the first immediate warning, then Location-Based SMS for follow-up instructions using two-way communication.
Smart send for optimum delivery
Avoid delays or network congestion. Using real-time monitoring of SMS delivery reports during sending, the solution adapts and can shift from SMS to CB to meet the operational alerting time targets, based on key indicators like population reach percentage and maximum sending time.
Smart location, the time machine from Everbridge
Makes it possible to reach people who:
- Have left the affected area already (post-evacuation follow-up)
- Have visited the area a few hours earlier (witness reach for missing child, biohazard, or chemical leak)
- Visit the area on a regular basis
People’s privacy protection
The use of Cell Broadcast and Location-Based SMS does not require any opt-in to the system and does not require downloading a mobile app. No PII data is collected, stored, or processed.
Automated notification on entering an incident zone
Alerts can be kept active for the duration of a critical event and will automatically notify everyone entering the pre-defined incident zone. Examples include evacuation orders, lockdowns, and curfews.
Notify residents even when they are traveling abroad
Alert citizens when traveling outside of the country as incidents develop in the visited country, as well as events happening in their home country.
