Everbridge’s market-leading mass notification platform surpassed 5 billion communications on behalf of organizations around the world in 2020 alone.

GSA joins more than 70 Federal agencies supported by the Everbridge CEM platform including the Federal Communications Commission, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Departments of Defense, Commerce, Energy, Interior, Justice, and Health and Human Services, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Cancer Institute, and the Peace Corps.

Bush, Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves, Former Lieutenant Governor of Florida Carlos Lopez-Cantera, and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.
