Genasys Partners With ShakeAlert® to Enhance Protective Communications Platform With Earthquake Early Warnings

Business Wire
Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in Protective
Communications, today announced it has partnered with ShakeAlert to
integrate Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) into Genasys’ Protective
Communications platform under a licensed operator agreement. The
ShakeAlert EEW System, managed by the U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS), rapidly detects significant earthquakes, estimates the
amount of shaking expected, and issues ShakeAlert Messages
containing data that licensed operators use to protect people and
critical infrastructure.
Richard Danforth, CEO of Genasys, said, “ShakeAlert is a vital
addition to our Protective Communications platform and for our
ACOUSTICS customers in California. ShakeAlert Messages are
published by USGS only if certain thresholds for magnitude and
shaking intensity are met. When these conditions are met, alerts
can be delivered through our outdoor ACOUSTICS systems several
seconds before strong shaking starts. Every second to take
protective action before strong shaking is critical to saving
lives.”
Robert de Groot, USGS ShakeAlert technical engagement lead,
said, “We welcome Genasys to our growing community of ShakeAlert
Licensed Operators that includes schools, campuses, hospitals,
utilities, research facilities, and residential buildings.
Protecting lives is at the core of the USGS mission. ShakeAlert
prioritizes alert delivery to areas that could experience strong
shaking so people can take protective action. Automated responses,
including slowing trains, closing water valves, turning on backup
generators, issuing emergency warnings, and many others, can also
be initiated.”
Mr. Danforth added, “Our collection of partnerships, which also
includes FEMA's Integrated Public Alert & Warning System
(IPAWS), the National Weather Service's Advanced Hydrologic
Prediction Service for flood warnings, ESRI's ArcGIS for disaster
mapping, FloodMapp for flood preparedness, and AlertWildfire's fire
detection camera network, complement each other. These and other
contemplated partnerships provide our burgeoning emergency
management ecosystem essential solutions to protect lives and
communities.”
Genasys provides targeted communication, data-driven decision
making, secure inter-agency collaboration, zone-based planning, and
highly intelligible outdoor speakers. No other platform delivers
the options and versatility across integrated hardware and software
solutions for proactive preparedness and diverse multichannel
communication.
