Everbridge Supports Several U.S. States
and Cities Responding to Air Quality Emergency Caused by Ongoing
Canadian Wildfires
“Effective communication between public health agencies and
residents is absolutely critical during times like these,” said
David Wagner, CEO of Everbridge. “When wildfires occur, air quality
can rapidly deteriorate, posing significant risks to our
communities. It is crucial that we provide timely, accurate, and
actionable information about potential health impacts and necessary
precautions to ensure the resilience of county, city, and state
populations. Everbridge also continues to support our Canadian
customers in their regional response to the wildfires.”
With smoke plumes extending from Vermont down to North Carolina,
air quality alerts have been issued in 15 states, including
Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington,
DC, impacting more than 55 million Americans living in the
Northeast, Midwest and mid-Atlantic.
Local, county, and state governments are warning residents to
take precautions. At-risk populations, such as young children, the
elderly, or those with lung and heart disease, are urged to avoid
the outdoors, according to the advisories.
Everbridge is experiencing a significant increase in the number
of municipalities leveraging the company’s community engagement and
mass notification offerings. New York City’s Notify NYC is sending
regular Air Quality alerts via opt-in, using multilingual
templates. The City of Hoboken is providing updates on cancelled
activities, and New Haven, Connecticut Mayor Justin Elicker
provided the following message to residents:
“Due to smoke traveling our way from
wildfires in Canada, the air quality in New Haven is still
considered to be unhealthy. As a reminder, people with heart or
lung disease, asthma, other respiratory ailments as well as older
adults, pregnant women, children, and teenagers should take the
following steps to reduce your exposure: keep your outdoor
activities short, avoid strenuous outdoor activities or,
preferably, reschedule or move your physical activities
indoors.”
Everbridge powers the mass notification systems for much of the
populations impacted by the dangerous smoke and haze, including the
states of Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York, as
well as major cities such as New York City, Hoboken, and
Philadelphia, and Fairfax County Virginia, bordering Alexandria and
Washington, D.C.
Francis Willett, Principal Product Manager of North American
Public Safety for Everbridge, said “We are seeing an increased
number of notifications related to the poor air quality conditions
being experienced by many of our customers. We continue to support
our clients and the residents they serve, and we stand ready to
assist anyone in need of leveraging the Everbridge platform and
best practices to effectively communicate with citizens during a
crisis.”
