James Podlucky, Industry Solutions Manager, Everbridge
This is the latest in a series of sessions exploring how Everbridge can be used for one key aspect or stage of the response lifecycle.
The more people that receive critical life safety messages at the proper time, the safer the community will be. Though that calculus sounds simple, multiple complexities, such as technology or population behavior, prevent most jurisdictions from reaching a significant portion of their population with notifications and alerts.
This webinar will discuss the challenges to successful outreach and how Everbridge can help overcome these to reach more residents. We will specifically discuss:
- How to easily expand and enhance your life safety database to improve distribution of life-saving communications.
- Best practices to facilitate resident engagement before, during and after a disaster.
- Ways to optimize messages for maximum impact.
- How gaining real-time information provides situational awareness for impactful decision making.
