When an at-risk woman went missing for more than 24 hours during Colorado’s bitter winter, the clock was ticking to find her. Unable to locate her, Douglas County Search and Rescue used Everbridge SmartGIS to contact residents located in their search area based on the woman’s last known whereabouts and likely path. A resident who received a message from the Everbridge system called to report seeing the woman leading authorities to find the missing woman within an hour of sending the message.
The City of Inglewood has used Everbridge SmartGIS for critical communications through numerous incidents, including the Police Department Operation Golden Phoenix and Golden Guardian emergency response training drills, a waste management strike, power outages, major and localized water shut-offs, and a multi-agency bio-decontamination drill. When the city was affected by damage to a 12-foot section of water main, its deputy city administrator and chief information officer alerted residents on a rolling basis of the impact of the planned repair on water pressure and targeted communications to those residents located within a few hundred feet of a localized water main rupture.Learn More
