About Genasys
A Preferred Partner of the WFCA, Genasys provides a "Protective Communications" solution through an integrated software-and-hardware platform designed for all-hazard emergency response. Genasys Protect combines zone-based communication software with multi-channel alerting capabilities and LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) systems. The platform allows agencies to create data-driven evacuation zones, send targeted alerts through multiple channels including SMS, social media, voice calls, outdoor speakers, TV, radio, and digital signage, and maintain a common operating picture for cross-agency collaboration.
The system includes a public-facing mobile app that residents can use to receive location-based alerts and access real-time safety information without requiring opt-in.
Genasys addresses one of the most critical challenges fire departments face, particularly during wildfires: quickly and efficiently evacuating people from harm's way.
The platform's zone-based approach allows fire departments to create and edit evacuation zones in real-time based on actual fire behavior and threat levels, rather than relying on static predetermined boundaries. This gives incident commanders precise control over who receives evacuation orders and when, reducing confusion and ensuring resources are used efficiently. The system provides real-time population and structure counts for affected zones, giving commanders an accurate snapshot of the incident's scope.
The common operating picture feature enables seamless coordination across multiple agencies and jurisdictions, which is essential during large wildfire incidents requiring mutual aid. Fire departments can collaborate with law enforcement, emergency management, and neighboring agencies through a shared platform, reducing delays and miscommunication during critical response phases. The platform also reduces the burden on dispatch centers by providing the public with a self-service mobile app that delivers real-time information on incidents affecting their area, reducing resident calls and allowing dispatchers to focus on emergency coordination.
