Everbridge for Federal Government
The Everbridge incident notification solution enables federal agencies to meet continuity of operations (COOP) and continuity of government (COG) best practices during a crisis, including personnel safety and accountability. Built according to rigorous government security and reliability standards, the Everbridge system combines the power of multi-modal communications—including phone, text, email, pagers, fax, PDAs, and more—empowering federal government agencies to rapidly and efficiently reach their audiences wherever they are. Many of the largest state, local, and federal government agencies use Everbridge to meet accountability requirements and emergency notification needs, including more than 20 different federal agencies.
How Everbridge Helps Federal Agencies
- Faster response in an emergency. The Everbridge incident notification system helps federal agencies mobilize response and recovery organizations quickly and efficiently, alert other government agencies, and coordinate resource-sharing efforts among agencies.
- Stronger collaboration within and outside the agency. Organize briefings with crisis response teams, administrators, security, and external responder agencies throughout the course of an incident using on-the-fly conference calling. Communicate to a single location or across the globe. Coordinate resource-sharing efforts.
- Accountability. Poll personnel for safety status and whereabouts. Enable critical personnel to call in to retrieve messages specific to them and provide you with vital information, such as alternate phone numbers.
- Greater situational awareness. Provide ongoing status updates as an incident progresses and is resolved. Include emergency plans, incident-related images, after-action report templates, and other important documentation as message attachments.
- Fewer mistakes and miscommunications. Automate time-intensive, error-prone manual processes and send clear, consistent messages to all your audiences, making ti possible for your staff to focus on important crisis management tasks.
- Continuity of operations. Meet COG and COOP requirements. Sustain critical communications internally and externally over prolonged periods to resolve and recover from the incident expeditiously. Prevent the spread of misinformation and rumors through proactive, ongoing communications.
