Emergency Notification Leader Promotes Emergency Preparedness and Continuity Planning in the Workplace
LOS ANGELES, CA – September 23, 2009 – Everbridge, the world’s recognized leader in incident notification systems, today announced the company’s participation in the sixth annual National Preparedness Month (NPM) Coalition.

A 2009 NPM Coalition Member, Everbridge is sharing emergency preparedness and planning best practices and information with the business continuity/disaster recovery (BC/DR) community.
