Burlington's Everbridge To Aid FCC In Coronavirus Management

BURLINGTON, MA — Burlington's Everbridge was selected by the Federal Communications Commission's mass notification system for pandemic planning and emergency management, the company said Tuesday.

The FCC is one of over 60 federal agencies using Everbridge's critical event management system, including the Departments of Defense and Justice.

“Everbridge provides government agencies with the industry’s most scalable and reliable platform to rapidly respond to global disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other critical events, while helping protect those who serve our nation each and every day,” Everbridge Vice President Mike Mostow said in a statement.

Everbridge has a partnership with the U.S. Army to track and respond to the threat of the virus across 70 countries, the company noted.
