New software allows officials to issue more precise evacuation alerts in San Diego County.
Dave McQuead, fire chief at Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection, speaks at the San Diego County Sheriff Technology and Information Center on Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
The software, called Genasys, allows officials to map evacuation zones based on things like population density, neighborhoods, nearby roads and geographic features. Then, they can send out evacuation alerts for specific areas. Jeff Toney, director of the San Diego County Office of Emergency Services, said it will also let officials lift evacuation orders as individual neighborhoods, streets or buildings become safe.
