Genasys provides solutions for reliable communications in extreme conditions, keeping everyone prepared and informed. With Genasys, emergency services teams stay safe in the face of deadly weather.
Keep people informed and public safety teams safe in winter weather.
Protective Communications During Extreme Winter Storms
Severe winter storms bring destructive winds, heavy snow, and ice, disrupting services, impacting traditional communication channels, and creating hazards. Effective communication with agencies and the public is essential to manage these crises.
Targeted, multi-channel communication, including messages through SMS, email, social media, and more, ensures the community stays informed about storm developments, safe travel routes, and emergency services, minimizing confusion and reducing chances of stranded motorists.
When power lines crash down from the weight of ice and snow, it can be very beneficial to broadcast voice messages over long distances to reach disconnected people. Reliable communication ensures life-saving information reaches everyone, especially in isolated areas.
And when storms are approaching and impacting your area, real-time collaboration across public safety can help stressed teams operate more efficiently. Instant communication is crucial to keep teams safe during hazardous travel and dangerous conditions.
