SAN DIEGO, May 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genasys Inc.

The Company’s software demonstration during a FEMA open webinar included generating and delivering Common Alerting Protocol (“CAP”) test messages that were received and acknowledged by the IPAWS Lab. In May 2019, the Company successfully demonstrated its IPAWS hardware capabilities to emergency management officials. A solar-powered outdoor mass notification system located in San Diego received and broadcast audio test messages sent from the IPAWS Lab in Indian Head, MD in real time.

IPAWS WATCH empowers public safety agencies to issue emergency alerts and warnings in multiple languages through FEMA’s IPAWS. Public safety alerts for severe weather, evacuation and shelter-in-place notifications, hazardous materials release, active shooter or other critical events, can be dispersed via IPAWS emergency alerting channels such as WEA, EAS, CAP and other modalities throughout an affected geographic area.
