The City of Morrison, IL, is working to keep residents, staff, and emergency personnel safe and informed, by using with quick and reliable emergency notifications and public service announcements. The City partnered with Everbridge, worldwide leader in unified critical communications. The City of Morrison will begin using Everbridge’s Citizen Alerts to communicate with citizens and businesses during emergencies and other critical events. Residents are encouraged to register immediately to receive these alerts.
The City of Morrison will use Everbridge’s Citizen Alert Notification System to alert residents about a variety of events, ranging from severe weather and other emergencies, to more routine announcements, such as road closures and water utility maintenance. Messages will be sent to residents on their preferred contact paths (i.e., cell phone, SMS (texting), home phone, email, fax, and more) to ensure real-time access to potentially lifesaving information. Some residents, whose public information data has already been obtained, will automatically be subscribed to alerts by phone. Everbridge and the City of Morrison allow citizens to self-register, provide additional contact information, or opt out.
“We have a commitment to ensure public safety, community awareness, and emergency response. To uphold this, when critical information and public service announcements are available, we need to reach our residents as quickly and reliably as possible,” said Brian Melton, Chief of Police. “Everbridge’s Citizen Alert Notification System allows the City of Morrison to disseminate this information across all types of devices, ensuring residents have access to real-time public information, when they need it the most.”
“A resilient, comprehensive critical communications system is an essential tool for the City of Morrison, that needs to notify thousands of residents and businesses rapidly and efficiently,” said Jaime Ellertson, CEO of Everbridge. “Everbridge is proud to have been selected by the City of Morrison, IL, as a critical component of its public safety and emergency response program.”
