Manvel Upgrades Mass Notification System

Stay informed with Manvel's upgraded mass notification system.

The following information is from cityofmanvel.com:

The City of Manvel announces its transition to Everbridge as its new Mass Notification System (Manvel MNS). This move is aimed at providing residents with a more robust and customizable communication experience.

Everbridge will replace Blackboard Connect as the City's chosen Mass Notification System. While this upgrade brings a wealth of benefits, it necessitates residents previously subscribed to Blackboard Connect to re-register, as contact information could not be seamlessly transferred to the new platform.

Key Benefits of Everbridge:

1. Tailored Notifications: Everbridge empowers residents to personalize their notification preferences, enabling them to opt-in to specific alerts based on their interests. Categories include severe weather notices, water interruptions, street closures, and more.
2. Customized Delivery Methods: Residents have the flexibility to choose how they receive notifications – whether through phone calls, emails, or text messages. This personalized approach ensures that residents stay informed in a way that suits their communication preferences.
3. Severe Weather Alerts: With Everbridge, residents will receive prompt and accurate severe weather notifications, helping them stay prepared and safe during adverse weather conditions.
4. Proactive Communication on Public Works: Receive updates on planned water interruptions and street closures, allowing residents to plan and respond effectively.

While the transition requires residents to re-sign up for the Everbridge platform, the City assures that the enhanced features and improved communication capabilities make this effort worthwhile.
