Our evacuation management program, known as “Zonehaven Aware” was recently acquired by “Genasys Protect”. Genasys has launched a new mobile APP in addition to the existing web-based platform. Our zones remain unchanged, this simply expands the user options in an APP, including the ability to sign up for zone notifications, such as when an evacuation order is lifted.
