Communication Alerts

The Village of Crete keeps Citizens safe and informed with Everbridge Resident Alerts

Residents and Businesses Can Sign Up to Receive Critical Communications and Emergency Alerts

CRETE, IL., March 25th, 2018– The Village of Crete is now working with Everbridge, the worldwide leader in unified critical communications, to keep residents, staff and emergency personnel safe and informed with quick and reliable emergency notifications and public service announcements. The Village of Crete will begin using Everbridge Resident Alerts to communicate with citizens and businesses during emergencies and other critical events. Residents are encouraged to register immediately to receive these alerts.

The Village of Crete 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 contact paths- cell phone, SMS, home phone, email, fax, pager and more- to ensure real-time access to potentially lifesaving information. Residents listed in the Village of Crete 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 President Einhorn. “The Everbridge emergency notification system allows the Village of Crete 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 cities and villages, that need 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 Village of Crete as a critical component of its public safety and emergency response program.”
