Government + federal agency use cases
Reliable response for employees in Harm’s Way
Natural and human-induced threats can put your most valuable assets – your employees – at risk. You need to able to assess events, locate the people that need help and those that can help, and act quickly to get and keep your people out of harm’s way – and account for each employee’s safety.
Federal operational disruption
Severe weather, crime, protests, or even a nearby construction project can causes federal agencies to be impacted. By having better foresight of potential issues, and better information during incidents, you can minimize the impacts of damage and theft, revenue loss from customer disruptions, and risks to your employees.
Prevent system downtime
Software, hardware, and IT failures, as well as cyber-attacks impact online trading applications and customer-facing sites with regularity. When teams need to be identified and rallied to address the situation, every minute saved by automating communications and ensuring the right people are alerted and begin resolving the issue as fast as possible results in preserved revenue, reduce costs and maintain operations.
Public safety communications
Public safety communication involves the act of sharing critical information with fellow agencies to coordinate an effective incident response. Additionally, it includes providing timely event details to residents and community members to help ensure their safety.
Visitor and community alerting
Critical situations like severe weather and criminal activity require information to be shared quickly and effectively with residents. Alerting everyone in an emergency, no matter what language they speak, or if they choose to receive information via SMS Text, Facebook, on a Smartphone or using a plain old telephone, is difficult without a trusted solution you can rely on when minutes matter.
“Instead of spending time answering calls or listening to concerns during critical events we are proactive and get information out to the community with the click of a button.”
– Sulayman Brown, Assistant Coordinator, Fairfax County OEM

2024 Active Assailant Preparedness Report
Everbridge partnered with ASIS to survey around 700 security professionals to establish benchmark data on how the training, tools, and approach to active assailant preparedness has evolved. We consolidated our findings into the 2024 active assailant preparedness report that explores.
The platform that scales and integrates
Rarely do incidents remain localized, primarily driven by physical impact or by the social network of information sharing. In a nation where the costs of natural disasters continue to increase, sharing information on one network can save a lot of time, money, and most importantly, lives.
