BURLINGTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Everbridge, Inc. (Nasdaq: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management (CEM) and national public warning solutions, today announced the Toronto Zoo selected Everbridge Mass Notification to safeguard its over 1,000 permanent, part-time, seasonal, and volunteer staff, as well as to be available to alert the Zoo’s approximately 1.3 million guests per year.
The Zoo is home to roughly 3,000 animals, representing over 280 different species, spanning 500 acres surrounded by Rouge National Urban Park.
