Genasys and FloodMapp Partner to Deliver Dynamic Emergency Management and Flood Preparedness

By: via Business Wire

Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in Protective Communications, today announced a partnership with FloodMapp, a market leader in operational flood forecasting and intelligence solutions. The partnership combines Genasys’ all-hazards preparedness, evacuation management, and multichannel alerting platform with FloodMapp’s innovative technology to speed decision making, accelerate evacuation response times, and save lives during flood disasters.

Craig Fugate, former Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), FloodMapp strategic advisor, and Genasys board member, said, “The Genasys / FloodMapp partnership brings together two proven technologies that empower government agencies, emergency managers, and first responders to make faster, more accurate decisions before and during flood events, ultimately saving lives and protecting communities.”

Juliette Murphy, CEO and Co-Founder of FloodMapp, said, “We are honored to partner with Genasys to provide emergency managers and first responders more warning time and situational awareness during severe flooding. FloodMapp is purpose built for flood forecasting that informs emergency alerts, supports evacuations, and delivers precise information to emergency managers regarding potential flood impacts on people, property, and critical infrastructure. Working together with Genasys, we are building a safer future that saves lives and reduces the effects of flooding.”

Richard Danforth, CEO of Genasys, noted, “Our partnership with FloodMapp provides vital flood safety technology for our all-hazards Protective Communications platform. By enhancing flood preparedness and emergency management during hurricanes, severe storms, and other flood events, end users have greater situational awareness and first response coordination. Importantly, in California, Australia, and other fire-prone areas, the fire-flood cycle creates dangerous flood and debris flow risks, imperiling residents and neighborhoods downstream of burn-scarred areas. Implementing FloodMapp’s forecasting and real-time data with Genasys’ emergency response and multichannel alerts will save lives.”

Genasys and FloodMapp are redefining the way emergency managers prepare for and respond to floods, ensuring that every decision is backed by accurate data and clear communication. Emergency managers will now be able to view predicted flood impact areas and overlay them with pre-defined or custom evacuation zones to support informed decisions and coordinate timely, targeted evacuations. The integration of real-time flood intelligence with multichannel emergency notifications and evacuation management offers a comprehensive, user-friendly solution to ensure neighborhoods and communities receive timely alerts and accurate information before, during, and after flood hazards.
