"Our Genasys Emergency Management (GEM) software service will deliver alerts and warnings to Longueuil residents through SMS, email, and phones during disasters and other crisis situations," said Richard S. Danforth, Chief Executive Officer, Genasys Inc. "We're replacing an incumbent system due to GEM's better mapping and contact management, and overall ease of use.
"A key provision of the contract is the delivery of emergency alerts and life safety notifications in multiple languages to the more than 250,000 residents living in Longueuil," Mr. Danforth added.
