Genasys Inc. Acquires Emergency Evacuation SaaS Provider, Zonehaven
June 09 2021 - 04:10PM
Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in critical
communications systems and solutions, announced today that it has
acquired Zonehaven, a fast-growing provider of
software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for emergency evacuations.
Zonehaven provides planning, training, and resources to first
responders, public safety agencies, and communities to manage
evacuations and repopulations successfully. The transaction closed
on June 7, 2021.
Based in San Francisco, CA, Zonehaven's services
are trusted by more than 170 fire districts, 140 law enforcement
agencies and 200 cities, with more than 3,300 evacuation zones
covering 3.2 million people in Northern California and Southern
Oregon.
“Increasing wildfire, flooding, severe weather,
active shooter, HAZMAT, and other crisis events require proven
solutions to help quickly move people away from danger,” stated
Richard S. Danforth, Chief Executive Officer of Genasys Inc. “We
have recently seen in California and in other areas of the world
that crisis events require preparation, real-time information and
dynamic resources to keep people safe. By empowering agencies and
communities with essential tools to safely execute timely emergency
evacuations and orderly repopulations, Zonehaven's solutions help
save lives.”
“During evacuations, speed is everything.
Pre-planning, training, drills, alerting, and our comprehensive
community outreach program are core Zonehaven competencies that
bridge the gap between first responders and the public,
transforming disaster preparedness,” said Zonehaven Chief Executive
Officer, Charlie Crocker. “We're excited to join the Genasys team
and work together on creating a safer world.”
“As standalone modules or integrated with our
GEM platform, Zonehaven's evacuation planning capabilities and
public safety resources are game changers for emergency
preparedness,” continued Mr. Danforth. “The acquisition of
Zonehaven increases Genasys' key competitive advantages for
delivering local, regional and national emergency management and
warning SaaS solutions, and accelerating recurring revenue
growth.”
