Genasys hardware and software work together to minimize the impact of catastrophic hurricanes and tropical storms

The Genasys suite of solutions ensures real-time communication within your responding teams and offers round-the-clock protection for your communities—even when they don’t opt in. EVAC‘s zone-based planning streamlines the process of coordinating evacuations, notifying people, and guiding them to safety, while integrated weather sensors issue automated alerts through various channels, including a mobile citizen’s app and long-range speakers that deliver clear, understandable messages to those at risk.

The map-based platform provides an instant snapshot of population, structures, vehicle count, and area size, enabling swift decision-making. Visualize evacuation progress through traffic AI modeling that accounts for road congestion and closures to aid the decision-making process.

After the hurricane passes, Genasys’ targeted communications reach residents beyond jurisdictional boundaries, keeping them informed during reentry. CONNECT facilitates seamless collaboration between all participating agencies and volunteers in search and rescue operations via real-time chat. Helicopter and boat-mounted LRADs help locate survivors and reduce panic by informing them help is on the way.

Facilitate collaborative emergency response and effectively manage the mass movement of large groups of people with Genasys.

Simplified Data Visualization
Visualize extensive data through an intuitive map-based platform. Collaborate seamlessly with agencies using a common operating picture, simplifying mass evacuations and responses to flash floods from a hurricane’s wide impact. Streamline decision-making for complex scenarios.

Multi-Jurisdictional Collaboration

ACOUSTICS & LRAD: Broadcast specific, actionable long range voice commands and information with outdoor warning sytems. Send messages heard and understood above the noise of a thunderous storm, inside vehicles or buildings during evacuations, and during search and rescue operations. Keep broadcasts going even when power or satellite connectivity is down.

TRAFFIC AI by Ladris: Take traffic modeling and simulation to the next level. Respond swiftly to looming hurricanes with a clear understanding of traffic congestion, helping plan for contra-flow and avoiding miles-long traffic jams. Aid in both evacuation and repopulation with TRAFFIC AI.

CONNECT: Enable safe, secure, and compliant collaboration both within and between agencies to enhance daily operations and swiftly communicate with teams during a potential hurricane crisis.
