Alerts received at the right time can help keep you safe during an emergency. With Everbridge Emergency Alerts, messages can be sent to your mobile device when you may be in harm's way, without the need to download an app or subscribe to a service.
Everbridge Emergency Alerts will look like a text message. The messages will typically show:
the type and time of the alert
any action you should take
the agency issuing the alert.
The length and language of the message received on a particular device will be dependent on the wireless network and the language setting of the device.
Follow any action advised by the emergency message. Seek more details from your favorite TV or radio station, NOAA Weather Radio, news website, desktop application, mobile application, or other trusted source of information.
You may receive frequent messages from Everbridge during an emergency. Message frequency depends on the number of imminent threats to life or property you signed up to receive notifications for.
Last but not least be sure when signing up for Everbridge, that you sign up for the area you wish to receive notifications for. This will ensure that you are receiving the appropriate message for the area in which you live.
