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.
