Everbridge Announces 2019 Critical Event Management Impact Award Winners

Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management, today announced the recipients of this year's Critical Event Management Impact Awards. For the third consecutive year, the global program recognizes unique, innovative and inspiring use of the Everbridge Platform to support life safety, global security, organizational resiliency and business continuity.

Winners of this year's Critical Event Management Impact Award program include a diverse mix of individuals and organizations who are committed to employee safety and incident management and response. Recipients range from global retail and consumer businesses, to state and local government agencies, leading universities, regional airports and healthcare organizations.

Among this year's enterprise honorees is a global technology service center that previously averaged 40+ minutes to complete required callouts in the event of a major IT outage, automated the process and reduced its callout time to an average of 3 minutes; a first responder team that successfully streamlined its special needs registry, helping to meet the unique medical necessities of their residents during emergency situations; and a company that leveraged critical event management to anticipate the disruption that severe weather would cause to its supply chain, thereby avoiding the shortage of a vital product.

Similarly, state and local government honorees included an Emergency Management team whose Everbridge alerts helped bring home a missing three-year-old girl within 8 minutes; a security firm whose life safety notifications to employees in the area of a deadly mass shooting kept staff informed of the situation well before it made the local news; and a Florida county that suffered a direct hit from Category 5 Hurricane Michael and distributed critical information to residents about evacuations, boil water notices, and food sites.

Additionally, a large shopping center in the UK used Everbridge to evacuate more than 10,000 people within 37 minutes when the dredging of a nearby harbor brought up a 1,000kg unexploded bomb from World War II. Likewise, one hospital system significantly improved physician response time by using HIPAA-compliant video calling with patients to collaborate on quickly needed care.

"Our customers, both individually and as teams, take heroic actions every day to keep their populations safe and help their organizations avoid disruptions in operations," said David Meredith, CEO of Everbridge. "We are inspired by what they do on a routine basis and honored to recognize this year's group of Impact Award winners."

As in previous years, organizations nominated themselves or individuals on their teams for the award. An independent panel of industry experts selected the recipients after closely reviewing all submissions, which represent only a small fraction of the many critical events Everbridge handles around the globe each year.
