Finding Your Evacuation Zone and Information. - Genasys Protect

Stay safe in an emergency with Genasys Protect. Get real-time evacuation zones, hazard alerts, and safety information straight from your local officials.

Genasys Protect makes it simple to find your zone and easily check its status to help keep you informed and safe.

The purpose of Genasys Protect is to provide the community with a public-facing platform to view the status of their zone. Emergency responders update the status of zones to communicate their appropriate level to the public.

Knowing your zone is critical to staying safe during a public safety emergency such as a wildfire, flood, tsunami, hurricane, earthquake, or active shooter incident. Zones will be used in emergency alert notifications to clearly communicate who is impacted by an emergency and what actions should be taken.
