Everbridge is a state-of-the-art electronic alert system that uses e-mail, home phone, cell phone, and text messages to inform Auxiliarists of coming incidents such as hurricanes, floods, other natural disasters, and terrorism threats or incidents. Accounting for members, post event, is another use. Everbridge automates the old manual call tree process and is the system the Auxiliary uses to automate communications with members.
