Genasys announces new Zonehaven, Genasys emergency management contract

Genasys announced a multi-year Genasys Emergency Management and Zonehaven software-as-a-service contract with Monterey County, California. GEM is displacing a competitor’s critical event management system. "Monterey County’s diverse coastline and rugged mountains, which include the steepest coastal slope in the contiguous United States, present formidable emergency management challenges," said Richard Danforth, Chief Executive Officer, Genasys, Inc. "The county’s major disasters over the last 50 years include severe coastal storms, flooding, landslides, earthquakes, and several large wildfires. To better protect the county’s 430,000 residents and more than 3 million annual visitors during disasters and other crisis situations, Monterey County emergency management personnel and first responders are deploying Genasys critical communications software and evacuation resources," continued Mr. Danforth. "10 of California’s 15 coastal counties have implemented our unified multichannel platform for county emergency management. In two additional coastal counties, San Francisco and Orange, certain cities and tourist areas are covered by Genasys public safety solutions."
