“Effective communication between emergency managers, first
responders, search and rescue teams, and the general public remains
critical in saving lives during hurricanes,” emphasized David
Wagner, CEO of Everbridge. “At Everbridge, our dedicated team
of Public Safety experts is committed to equipping our customers
with the necessary tools, best practices, and functionality to
ensure preparedness throughout the hurricane season, enabling
optimized response and safety efforts.”
Everbridge supports some of the most populated cities and
counties along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. The Everbridge
platform has been successfully used to protect states and its
residents from catastrophic Atlantic storms over the years,
including Hurricanes Michael (Category 5), Matthew, Irma, Dorian,
Ian, and Nicole. During Hurricane Irma, for example, Everbridge was
used to share safety information, weather updates, sheltering
instructions, and evacuation directions throughout the course of
the storm, with over 20 million messages sent to residents.
The impact of severe weather events, particularly hurricanes,
necessitates proactive measures to ensure public safety and
community resilience. “Part of any comprehensive emergency
management plan is to be prepared for impacts to your community and
how to provide effective communication to citizens,” said Jim
Coker, Emergency Management Director, Jefferson County Alabama.
“Additionally, we prepare our staff and partner agencies for
impacts across the County and bring in resources who assist our
response and recovery efforts from local emergencies. Everbridge
provides Jefferson County the robust emergency communication tools
to engage all of our stakeholders.”
NOAA issued its outlook for the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season,
forecasting that 12 to 17 named tropical storms will develop in the
region, which includes the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and
Gulf of Mexico, with 5 to 9 of them becoming hurricanes. Of those
hurricanes, one to four could be major, with wind speeds of 111 mph
or higher. An average season typically spawns seven hurricanes.
NOAA scientists also predict a high potential for El Nino to
develop this summer. Moreover, meteorologists from Colorado State
University, in a forecast released last month, predict a total of
13 tropical storms will form, of which six will become
hurricanes.
Leveraging the Everbridge Platform, state and local governments
can follow these best practices to effectively communicate with
citizens during a crisis:
Deploy a population-wide system to
deliver critical updates and information directly to citizens’
mobile devices. Communities can implement a simple and quick opt-in
solution, for example, allowing citizens to text a specific keyword
or zip code to a designated SMS short code.
Establish a risk data sharing network
that connects the public and private sectors. This network
facilitates the sharing of life-saving information between
government agencies, hospitals, universities, airports, and local
businesses, enhancing the ability to respond promptly to emergency
situations.
Develop special/functional needs
registries to identify at-risk individuals during emergencies.
This ensures that high-priority individuals, such as those in
nursing homes and hospitals, receive specialized care and
attention.
Create incident zones based on
geographic location to trigger mobile emergency alerts when
individuals enter or return to an area designated.
Maximize outreach with robust database
of contacts. To complement opt-in databases, emergency officials
turn to the Everbridge Resident Connection database – a
comprehensive database of landline, voice over Internet protocol
(VoIP) and cellular business and residential contacts to reach the
greater population with more confidence.
During the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, the Everbridge
platform was used by many communities along the eastern seaboard
and Gulf Coast to communicate critical safety information to
residents and employees. By taking proactive measures and
prioritizing preparedness and resilience, state and local
governments can help keep their communities safe and informed
during times of crisis.
