Rave Expands State
& Local Footprint
with 125%
Customer Growth
Customers across the country highlight lifesaving use cases
of Rave emergency notification system
Rave Mobile Safety, a leading provid-
er of critical communication and data
platform solutions, and a competitor in
the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security
Awards program, has reported contin-
ued state and local customer growth
across the nation.
Protecting 500,000 at the Kentucky Derby
In the past year, Rave garnered a 125 percent
increase in state and local Rave Alert customers.
For emergency managers newly switching to
Rave’s emergency notification solutions, Rave
Alert easily sends notifications that will be deliv-
ered to an accurate list in seconds.
More than 3,100 communities across
50 states trust Rave in an emergency to
help save lives. The City of Louisville selected Rave Alert to pow-
er its LENS (Louisville Emergency Notification
System) Alert solution.
These communities count on the Rave platform’s
ease of use, performance and data management
to better respond to emergencies. With one text, the 500,000 Kentucky Derby at-
tendees could opt-in to receive Derby specific
notifications.
Rave Alert provided an easy way to send tar-
geted and broad communications throughout the
city’s festival season to visitors and residents of
event updates and potential emergencies.
“The flexibility of Rave’s solution gave us all
peace of mind when more than half a million in-
dividuals came into the city for the Kentucky Der-
by,” said Mitchell Burmeister, public information
officer at Louisville Metro Emergency Services.
