Introduction to Genasys Protect

Genasys Protect bridges the gap between first responders and the public, transforming disaster preparedness.

 

What is Genasys Protect?

Genasys Protect is an evacuation management solution that provides planning, training, and resources to first responders, public safety agencies, and communities to manage evacuations and repopulations successfully. 

Genasys EVAC, our Evacuation Management Platform (EMP), empowers first responders with a comprehensive set of tools to navigate the evacuation process and communicate effectively with the community.

During an Evacuation, Speed is Everything

We have recently seen in California and other areas of the world that crisis events require preparation, real-time information, and dynamic resources to keep people safe.

Pre-planning reduces agencies’ reflex time during an incident and ensures that teams are always ready for action. Through pre-planning, training, drills, alerting, and a comprehensive community outreach program, Genasys Protect reduces the time it takes to order an evacuation. 

Zones and Zone-Based Evacuation

An evacuation zone is a portion of the community that has been sliced out to most effectively call for and manage the evacuation. Genasys works with local emergency planners to divide a county into smaller community zones, each identified by a unique zone identifier. 

Genasys Protect's software produces a digital evacuation map based on these pre-set community zones. First responders use the program to guide decision-making around if, when, and where to order evacuations or evacuation warnings while prioritizing the most vulnerable areas.
