Case Study: Athens County achieves faster, more reliable public-safety communications with Everbridge

How Athens County Uses Everbridge to Improve Resident Communication

Athens County, Ohio — home to Ohio University and Hocking College — hosts large events such as the annual Halloween Block Party that draw thousands of visitors. County officials needed a reliable way to communicate timely, accurate information to responders, residents and event attendees about incidents, road closures and other public-safety issues while events were underway.

Athens County implemented Everbridge to gain on-scene situational intelligence and rapidly push notifications via multiple channels. The system lets officials and volunteers communicate in real time, issue emergency notices like boil-water orders in minutes, and improve coordination at major events, enhancing public safety across the county.
