Genasys Protect
Genasys Protect provides targeted, zone-based alerts, communication, and coordination for emergencies and daily community events.
What Genasys Protect is
Genasys Protect provides targeted, zone-based alerts, communication, and coordination for emergencies and daily community events. Organizations can create customizable zones for location-based messages and updates, then send alerts through SMS, IPAWS, email, social media, the public app, and Genasys ACOUSTICS broadcasts. Quick Launch alerts and preloaded templates support rapid messaging, while external sensors and monitoring systems can provide data and trigger alerts automatically. Listed sensor use cases include flood monitoring, wildfire detection, severe weather, and industrial monitoring, with examples such as water-level, smoke, heat, wind, and gas detectors. Agencies and partners can use a shared operating picture with real-time data. A free public app and protect.genasys.com provide location-based information. Genasys says the app does not upload or store personally identifiable information and uses neighborhood areas or zones rather than tracking specific addresses. The platform is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Genasys identifies government, education, and enterprise organizations—including oil and gas, utilities, manufacturing, and automotive—as markets it serves. Pricing is available on request; some integrations may involve additional one-time service charges.
