COLCHESTER, England– Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management (CEM) and national public warning software solutions, today announced that the company’s next-generation Public Warning Center solution won the prestigious 2021 Gold Globee® award in the category of “Products, Services, and Solutions for EMEA.”
“It serves as an honor to be named the Gold winner by the Globee® Business Excellence Awards and to receive this esteemed industry and peer recognition,” said Everbridge Vice President of Public Warning Valerie Risk. “Given the impact to public safety and economies around the world from the ongoing threat of digital and physical disruptions including cyberattacks, severe weather, or the ongoing effects of the pandemic, every national and state government can benefit from a modern and scalable platform to reach all citizens and visitors in times of crisis.”
More local, state, and national governments deploy the Everbridge population alerting solutions than any other provider, offering the ability to reach and protect over two billion residents and visitors across the globe in case of digital threats: such as ransomware, cyberattacks, and IT disruptions; manmade threats: such as geo-political, terrorist attacks, and industrial accidents; and natural disasters: such as floods, severe storms, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and wildfires.
As the most scalable platform in the industry, Everbridge provides the only public warning system combining cell-broadcast and address-, group-, and location-based, multi-channel technologies with 5G compatibility enabling multimedia content alerting distribution. The Public Warning Center meets and exceeds the needs of any public authority looking for an advanced warning solution to protect its citizens and visitors – from EU-directive approved systems to more sophisticated hybrid and multi-channel alert and warning platforms.
Everbridge enables the Public Warning system for many of the most technically-advanced countries including Spain, Estonia, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Greece, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Peru, and multiple countries across the Middle East and Africa; entire states including California, New York, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Florida, Odisha, Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington, D.C. and the United States Virgin Islands; counties within 49 of the 50 U.S. states and within all of Canada’s provinces, many of the largest cities in the world, and in support of the most populous Native American and First Nations tribes and indigenous populations across the globe. Everbridge also powers the population alerting front-end of the Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS) gateway for the U.S. Federal Government to supplement their own communication channels for issuing live emergency and Presidential Alerts across the United States.
Everbridge Public Warning leverages existing telecom infrastructure, with no opt-in required, to reach everyone within a geographic area to reduce disaster risk, support first responder communications, and analyze disaster communication effectiveness for subsequent mitigation activities. The platform is fully compliant with data privacy regulations including GDPR and allows public safety agencies to send an alert to any device within a few seconds without sharing any personal details, such as names or phone numbers.
As an official partner and sponsor to both the World Climate Summit – the Investment COP and AfricaTech Festival 2021, Everbridge recently presented on the role of national public warning solutions and critical event management (CEM) technology to unlocking resilience as a climate adaptation measure.
Everbridge also featured some of the leading experts in the world on public alerting technologies at its global Road to Recovery leadership symposiums.

Bush, former U.S. Secretary of State Dr. Madeleine K.
