Our technology uses data from the network to show the number of mobile devices in an area. From this information the authorities can estimate crowd sizes and make informed decisions on how to respond to a major incident, for example deploying the optimum number of emergency responders, or planning evacuation routes.
The information is dynamic and updated in seconds making it possible to monitor the movement of people over time both into and out of an area. This makes it possible to assess if the advice to the public is being followed and assess the effectiveness of evacuations.
For emergency responders, this same information is helpful for planning resources needed along different routes as an event unfolds.
Using the Everbridge location-based group alerting feature, emergency management personnel present in a particular location can be identified and deployed effectively, based on their current location.
Everbridge Public Warning allows you to seamlessly engage in 2-way communication with people to check on whether they are safe and to receive requests for assistance. People can simply respond to SMS messages or polls that you send. This level of engagement makes for a far more robust system for protecting people. The simple and unobtrusive nature of SMS technology, which has a sense of familiarity and reassurance for people can avoid panic during evacuations and other similar situations.
Everbridge Public Warning takes advantage of the capabilities native to almost all cell phones and does not require any manual configuration by users or download of applications.
Everbridge Public Warning can automatically detect the nationality of a person’s SIM card and then send messages in the appropriate language to improve the effectiveness of communication to visitors and international travelers. When a population at risk needs to be alerted, Everbridge Public Warning is the most reliable way to reach the most people.
When an incident occurs overseas, governments may need to contact their citizens in the affected country. It may be necessary to send planes to bring people home. Travelers need information in their native language from a reliable source to help them stay safe.
Everbridge Traveler Alert makes it possible for government officials to identify how many citizens are in a specific country. Governments can alert their travelling citizens and provide advice on how to stay safe with regular updates until the danger is passed. Knowing how many citizens are affected helps governments to coordinate an appropriate response.
This solution is in use by several countries today to alert their citizens overseas during the coronavirus pandemic.
For inbound roamers, Everbridge Public Warning can be used to trigger alerts to all foreign visitors upon entering a country. The nationality of the sim card is recognized so that the person receives an SMS in their native language. This makes it possible for government authorities to provide important information to help the visitor stay safe during their stay since they may not be familiar with the country or speak the local language.
Everbridge Public Warning includes full analytics and reporting so you can measure how many messages were sent by which channel including deliverability rates, and notification confirmations.
