Everbridge Announces New Countrywide Population Alerting Successes

Recent countrywide award selection extends Everbridge’s footprint into another large country outside Europe

The Company also announced today full implementation of its countrywide deployment in Iceland, making Everbridge the first population alerting provider to support four European countries

BURLINGTON, Mass., September 11, 2019– Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management,today announced it has been selected as the winning bidder for a significant new countrywide population alerting system by a country outside of Europe, adding to recent wins in Australia and Singapore. Details of the award, which is subject to final contract negotiation, will be publicized after all procurement processes are completed. 

Everbridge also announced today that its deployment of Iceland’s national alerting system has gone live and is operational.  In light of a recent EU mandate requiring EU member countries to have a population-wide alerting system in place by June 2022, Everbridge is now the first population alerting provider to support four European countries: Greece, Iceland, the Netherlands and Sweden.

Everbridge Public Warning leverages existing telecom infrastructure, withno end user registration or opt-in required. All mobile phones located within a specified geographic area can be notified by government emergency authorities using location-based information from local cell towers. 

Within Iceland, theEverbridge Public Warning solution is being used to provide population-wide alerting to reach Iceland’s 360,000 residents and approximately 2 million annual visitors. Local residents and visitors alike are able to receive location-based SMS notifications on their mobile phones if they are within an area where a sudden critical event has occurred such as fire, volcanic activity, extreme weather or a terror attack.  Public Warning also allows Iceland emergency authorities to seamlessly engage in two-way communication with people to check on whether they are safe and to receive requests for assistance.

“This new location-based alerting system allows us to turn around information very quickly,” explained Tómas Gíslasen, Deputy CEO at 112 Iceland, who has been instrumental in advancing the use of localization technology. “Within minutes, we can reach large portions of the population leveraging a system with proven scale. This can be of great importance to anyone who finds themselves in a disaster area or who needs support to find a relative. We also get a lot of information from the system. Knowing how many people there are in the area can help us understand the gravity of the situation and better prepare for the next steps in our rescue efforts.”

Everbridge’s location-based alerting solution not only helps to send alerts to residents and visitors of Iceland, but also to citizens of Iceland who are traveling around the world.  This allows Iceland’s Foreign Ministry to ensure messages and instructions are being sent to Icelanders who are in the proximity of a critical incident outside of their home country.

“We are honored to support an increasing number of countries around the world with their national warning systems,” said David Meredith, Chief Executive Officer at Everbridge. “Our Public Warning solution enables government organizations and public safety agencies to immediately connect with every person in an affected area during a critical event regardless of nationality, residency or mobile handset type.”

The Everbridge Platform has been deployed by more local, state, and national governments across the globe than any other solution, offering the ability to reach over 500 million people in more than 200 countries.  Everbridge Public Warning has been deployed to reach the mobile populations on a country-wide scale in Australia, Sweden, the Netherlands, Singapore, Greece, and a number of the largest states in India.
