Boone County needed a modern, secure, and scalable solution for real-time coordination during Emergency Operations Center (EOC) activations and crisis communications-especially when engaging dozens of partners across local, county, state, federal, and university systems.
Legacy tools like email, phone trees, and text groups weren’t built for multi-agency collaboration and left critical gaps in continuity, access, and accountability.
Boone County OEM led a county-wide initiative to improve operational readiness and multi-agency coordination. Leveraging grant funding, they secured Bridge4PS licenses for all participating county, city, and university partners, enabling a unified communications environment for EOC activations and public messaging.
