Everbridge announced that the State of Connecticut has renewed and extended its contract with Everbridge to provide notification services statewide for the sixth consecutive year. CT Alert powered by Everbridge, enables Connecticut authorities to communicate critical information directly to every hospital, emergency response agency, business and resident across the state to keep them safe and informed. The system is used for both emergencies and important day-to-day operations.

Part of the Everbridge Suite, the Community Engagement service leverages day-to-day community connections to expand resident and visitor opt-ins, while helping the State of Connecticut and local officials to engage in two-way communications with constituents via social media. Community Engagement is expected to improve the resident opt-in database by using keywords to encourage people to opt-in via text message, rather than simply relying on E-911 data.
