When jurisdictions share a single notification system, they can more effectively respond to incidents and generate significant cost savings without losing individual autonomy. Local authorities can still manage their own notifications, but gain access to a larger source of intelligence, and can coordinate more closely with adjacent jurisdictions.
Enables Connecticut authorities to communicate critical information directly to every hospital, emergency response agency, business and resident across the state to keep them safe and informed. The system is used for both emergencies and important day-to-day operations.

Residents covered in a single deployment offers significant economies of scale, reducing total cost compared to several individual deployments.
Large, consolidated trainings for one shared notification system save agencies significant training costs compared to multiple trainings on disparate systems.
Provide responders with accurate, up-to-date information through shared situational intelligence via common data streams and notification visibility from neighboring agencies. Mutual aid is better provided by neighboring cities, counties or the state due to system familiarity and data access. Increase resident opt ins when the public utilizes a single, trusted mechanism for easy sign-ups. Cover all residents in all jurisdictions regardless of the socio-economic conditions of their individual jurisdiction. Data sharing can enhance the safety of the most vulnerable, such as access and functional needs populations that need assistance during an emergency. Consolidated training and increased internal expertise serve to reinforce usage policy and reduce notification errors.
In 2016, Everbridge was selected as the service provider for the development and implementation of AlertFlorida, a landmark initiative that provides statewide emergency alert and notification services to Florida residents, businesses and visitors.
Each participating jurisdiction is able to customize the categories of alerts available in their community through a local opt-in portal. The system also will provide automated notifications of flash floods, tornados, and other watches and warnings issued by the National Weather Service.
AlertFlorida has set the standard for emergency notification:
In preparation for Hurricane Irma, Florida promoted the keyword #FLPREPARES, asking residents and visitors to text the keyword to 888-777 to receive critical updates and information from government officials. During the course of Hurricane Irma, 20 million messages were sent, and over 600,000 individuals opted-into the system–expanding their reach from 280,000 contacts to roughly 900,000 contacts. The uniformity of the state-wide system created a standardized message that was easily adopted and deployed across all public safety entities in the state. And in turn, public messaging was clear, concise and consistent throughout the event.
Ensuring the safety of all Floridians is the Division’s top priority. The selection of Everbridge as the AlertFlorida vendor marks a milestone toward providing the State’s Emergency Managers with a standardized system to communicate critical emergency information to every resident, business and visitor in Florida.
