Everbridge: Helping Keep Ascension Parish Connected and Prepared

In a community like Ascension Parish, where neighborhoods, businesses, emergency responders, and a major chemical industry operate side by side, fast and reliable communication is an important part of keeping everyone informed and prepared.

The Everbridge emergency notification system helps make that communication possible.

Ascension Parish’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness uses Everbridge as part of its Community Alerting System, allowing residents to receive important emergency, weather, and community notifications. Everbridge technology can deliver critical information through multiple communication channels, including text messages, phone calls, emails, and mobile app notifications.

Supporting Our Chemical Industry and Our Community

Ascension Parish is home to a significant chemical and industrial community. Through Ascension Parish CAER—Community Awareness and Emergency Response—local chemical companies work alongside emergency management officials and law enforcement to help educate and protect the surrounding community.

Everbridge adds another valuable communication tool to these emergency preparedness efforts. If an industrial incident, severe weather event, road closure, evacuation, shelter-in-place situation, or other emergency occurs, mass notification technology can help officials quickly communicate important information and safety instructions to the people who need them.

Communication When It Matters Most

During an emergency, accurate information can reduce confusion and help residents make better decisions. By combining modern notification technology like Everbridge with local emergency planning and CAER’s commitment to community awareness, Ascension Parish is helping strengthen the connection between industry, emergency responders, and the people who live and work here.

Preparedness starts with communication—and Everbridge helps Ascension Parish stay connected when it matters most.
