Pennington County Uses Everbridge for New Emergency Alert System

People Living, Working or Visiting Can Sign Up to Receive Critical Communications and Emergency Alerts

Pennington County, MN — Pennington County is now working with Everbridge, the global leader in critical event management and public warning, to keep communities safe and informed with quick and reliable emergency notifications and public service announcements. Pennington County will begin using Everbridge to communicate with residents and businesses during emergencies and other critical events. Residents are encouraged to register immediately to receive these alerts. Signup by going to emergencyalert.penningtonsheriff.org or by scanning the QR Code below.

Pennington County will use the Everbridge emergency notification system to alert residents about a variety of events, ranging from severe weather, fires, floods, and other emergencies to more routine announcements, such as road closures and water utility maintenance. Messages will be sent to residents on their preferred devices — cell phone, SMS, home phone, email, and more—to ensure real-time access to potentially lifesaving information. Residents listed in the Pennington County 911 database will be automatically subscribed to alerts by phone, but Everbridge allows 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 Erik Beitel, Emergency Management Director. “The Everbridge emergency notification system allows the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office 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 public safety authorities who need to engage with residents and businesses rapidly and efficiently,” said David Wagner, CEO of Everbridge. “Everbridge is proud to have been selected by Pennington County as a critical component of its public safety and emergency response program.”
