Everbridge and WebEOC for streamlined crisis management response

Chances are, there’s been times when you’ve failed to respond to an email because it got lost in the depths of your inbox.  Or perhaps you’ve heard from the same person over and over again leading you to tune-out their messages. According to expandedramblings.com, office workers receive 121 emails per day, making it difficult for professionals to dig through the weeds and identify important messages that they might need to follow-up on.
