genasys Protect is a system utilized to allow communities and first responders to more effectively plan, communicate, and execute evacuations. The GP tool will be used countywide, including the County and all cities.

Pre-established evacuation zones help first responders and emergency service agencies prepare before an emergency strikes and help to streamline the evacuation process reducing confusion and allowing residents to evacuate quickly. It also ensures that first responders and community members are on the same page with the same information.

Visit genasys Protect and type in your address in the search bar. Write the zone name down, memorize it, and post it in a high-traffic location, like on your refrigerator.
