GENASYS PROTECT
Accelerate Wildfire Response to Save Lives
Every second counts when wildfire threatens your community. Firefighters, emergency managers, and law enforcement need to assess, act, and alert the public faster than ever before. Genasys Protect helps you make faster, more informed decisions, coordinate across agencies in real time, and deliver clear, timely alerts to the public. Reduce the time from incident recognition to community notification by 90%.
The Wildland Urban Interface is Growing, And So Is the Risk
As more people move into the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI)*, the threat to life and property grows. Drought, wind, and fuel buildup are making wildfires faster and more desctructive. Many communities are not equipped to evacuate at necessary speeds.
Thousands of fire service, emergency management, and law enforcement agencies rely on Genasys Protect (formerly Zonehaven) act fast, communicate clearly, and keep people safe. Our platform has supported response efforts in major wildfires such as the Dixie, 2025 Los Angeles, SCU Lightning Complex, Glass, and Smith River Complex fires.

As a first responder and emergency manager, I have lost countless hours of sleep worrying about my own community and wondering if I was doing everything I could to keep them safe. Every fire season I watched as the scale of devastation grew throughout the western United States with each successive wildfire. Every year, wildfire consumed more acreage, destroyed more homes, and took more lives; setting new records for devastation along the way. I came to Genasys, because 40 years ago I dedicated my life to helping others and keeping my community safe. Though I no longer wear the badge, that commitment is unchanged. I believe in the work we are doing, and that Genasys Protect is a game changer and a tool that truly makes communities safer.
