Strong Fiscal First Quarter 2023 SaaS Bookings Position Company for Significant SaaS Revenue Growth
Richard S. Danforth, Chief Executive Officer of Genasys, Inc., commented, “We are off to a strong start in fiscal year 2023 with our largest SaaS bookings quarter to date. Our software business continues to gain momentum, as evidenced by the $6.1 million in SaaS bookings in the fiscal first quarter. The strong bookings were driven by contracts from Aramco and the California counties of San Diego, Riverside, San Mateo and Monterey. These results, along with our rapidly growing SaaS pipeline further reinforce our strategy of investing in software development, sales, marketing, and customer support. The addition of the world’s largest integrated oil and gas company and large California counties to our global automobile manufacturing and regional critical infrastructure customer base elevates our SaaS profile and demonstrates our ability to successfully close, cross-sell, and support large enterprise and public safety clients.
“Our International results were also robust in the quarter, as our strategy to regionalize business development by establishing sales offices, in APAC, Europe, and the Middle East has proven successful,” continued Mr. Danforth. “During the fiscal first quarter, 50% of bookings were international, with APAC revenue more than doubling year-over-year as the entire region emerged from COVID-related lockdowns. With the world economy picking up, we are seeing pipeline growth across all of our international sales regions. We expect strong fiscal year bookings in APAC, Europe, and the Middle East, driven primarily by hardware orders, as well as a developing pipeline of SaaS opportunities.”
Outlook
"As per our usual pattern, we anticipate sequential quarterly revenue to increase in the fiscal second quarter and then strengthen in the fiscal third and fourth quarters, putting us on solid footing for a seventh consecutive year of revenue growth," Mr. Danforth added, “We are reiterating our fiscal 2023 outlook for continued revenue growth with stronger international sales, continuing LRAD deliveries to the U.S. military, increasing software services sales, and significant SaaS revenue growth.”

zonehaven Evacuation Management Helping to Safeguard Millions of California Residents And Visitors During Atmospheric River Events
Residents in Solano County have a new way to get emergency alerts and additional critical information on their area.
The Solano County Office of Emergency Services joined Zonehaven as part of their "Know Your Zone" campaign aiming to "better prepare residents and businesses for emergencies and evacuations."
Zonehaven is an online system with the goal to "save lives with tools that help communities and first responders more effectively plan, communicate, and execute evacuations," according to their website.
The new tool will be used countywide, in all cities and unincorporated areas.
"It's a good tool we have now that we didn't before," said Sergeant Rex Hawkins, spokesperson for the Solano County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials with OES strongly encourage residents know their evacuation zone name so they can understand alerts and react to emergency information faster.
"I cannot stress the importance of residents knowing their zones," said Hawkins, going on to say Zonehaven is a more user-friendly experience and will mostly be used for evacuations.
In the event of an emergency, first responders and officials will use Zonehaven to assist in issuing evacuations. Officials will then publish evacuation orders and zone statuses to Zonehaven AWARE and send emergency notifications via Alert Solano.

Zonehaven Disaster Planning Program spurs record Number of Teller and El Paso County Residents to sign up for Emergency Alerts
KRDO's Scott Harrison checked into how many El Paso County and Teller County residents have signed up for emergency notifications since the Zonehaven Disaster Planning Program took effect last August.
Notifications through Peak Alerts warn residents of emergencies like wildfires, shelter-in-place orders, and more.
The entity responsible for sending out Peak Alerts told KRDO that in 2022, a record 22,000 people registered to receive the alerts.
That's three to five times more than normal.

WESTERN COLORADO COUNTIES LAUNCH GENASYS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
All six counties in the West All-Hazard Region have switched on Genasys Emergency Management. The contract with the previous alert service provider, CodeRed, ended January. 9, Montrose County Emergency Manager Scott Hawkins said.
“We looked at other options. We wanted to see what else was out there,” he said.
The Genasys system is used regionally, in Delta, Gunnison, Hinsdale, Montrose, Ouray, and San Miguel counties. The region put out a request for proposals and selected Genasys from nine respondents
“It’s a pretty robust system. They use GIS mapping. When you enter an address, we can actually see where people are registered on the map. That helps us in an evacuation...,” Hawkins said.
The new system has a dedicated app, multiple bilingual resources, and is also more cost-effective.
“I think it’s going to be better for notification,” Montrose County Sheriff Gene Lillard said.
The alert system comes in handy during incidents such as major road closures, missing persons, evacuations, and domestic water-boil orders.

Zonehaven featured in How AI is saving homes and lives in California during wildfire season
Fighting California's humongous blazes stretches everybody thin so often regions or counties will bolster common resources with some AI software support from private players.
Zonehaven is one such AI-based system that assists emergency responders to evacuate communities at risk by using machine learning to digest various feeds that include satellite pictures and weather predictions to figure out where and when fires could break out.
Zonehaven has partnerships with individual fire and police departments in at least a dozen counties in the state and puts out detailed and staged evacuation recommendations to avoid stampedes, and its resultant traffic jams. Individuals can log onto a detailed map containing roads, structures and vegetation along with simulations of how and where the fire will spread.

Boulder County will replace or upgrade its emergency siren system in the wake of the Marshall Fire, which occurred nearly one year ago.
Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colorado, co-chair of the Congressional Wildfire Caucus, helped secure $1.08 million to replace the emergency system, according to a statement from his office.
The outdated siren system in the county will be replaced with new technology, a Long Range Acoustic Device system.
“The Marshall Fire razed neighborhoods across Louisville, Superior, and unincorporated Boulder County — destroying more than a thousand homes and businesses and resulting in the tragic loss of life,” Neguse said in a written statement. “We must ensure that we are prepared when the next natural disaster happens. With this funding, Boulder County will be better equipped to alert families of dangerous wildfires and disasters, saving lives, and keeping our community safe.”

Demonstrators attempted to forcefully enter the National Museum after a large protest and rally ended on March 13. A man with a megaphone encouraged the participants leaving Wenceslas Square to go and take down the Ukrainian flag from the front of the National Museum. His challenge was accepted by several hundred people who demanded to enter the building. They were prevented from doing so as Prague police repeatedly used a vehicle-mounted LRAD to tell demonstrators to leave the area. After repeated calls, people in front of the National Museum building were gradually pushed out of the area.
