“Statewide emergency alerting systems like COMMalert are crucial to keeping people safe and businesses running when unexpected events occur,” said David Meredith, CEO of Everbridge. “Massachusetts has always made emergency readiness, response and communications a priority, and as such, we are delighted to partner with the Commonwealth on their public safety initiatives, especially around the ongoing challenges created by COVID-19.”

With statewide contracts in Connecticut and Vermont as well, Everbridge has helped establish New England as a strong region of operational resilience, supporting many of the area’s largest airports, universities, hospitals and businesses.  Within the state capital of Massachusetts, the Everbridge network of emergency management customers includes the Boston Police Department, the Boston Public Health Commission and the Boston Fire Department. The company’s CEM platform facilitates internal communications so these organizations can effectively manage the millions of people that are present in downtown Boston and, if necessary, respond quickly to any disruptive events.

Everbridge has also provided its services pro bono to the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) and their annual organization of The Boston Marathon, enabling real-time emergency notifications to its network of nearly 10,000 volunteers preceding the event and during race-day events including start times, route updates or disruptions, and race completion.  In addition, Everbridge volunteered its services to the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), providing critical notifications to residents and families displaced by the 2018 gas explosions in the Merrimack Valley region.
