Case Study
Mill Valley, CA
In the City of Mill Valley, located north of San Francisco on the southeastern slopes of Mount Tamalpias, many residents live in narrow, heavily wooded canyons. After the deadly 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California, city leaders elected to replace Mill Valley’s outdated mechanical air raid sirens with a modern emergency warning system that continues to operate when existing power and communication infrastructure fail.
After evaluating several systems and multiple tests, city officials selected the industry-leading area coverage, vocal clarity, and connectivity options of Genasys’ LRAD voice broadcast systems. James Wickham, mayor of Mill Valley, commented on social media, “The City of Mill Valley is excited to announce the installation of new and more powerful emergency sirens to replace our aging system. These LRADs ... project both siren and voice recordings to alert and inform the community.

Laguna Beach, CA
The City of Laguna Beach required an emergency warning voice broadcast system for its downtown area and beaches in the event of wildfire, tsunami, flooding, severe weather and other public safety threats. Laguna Beach emergency operations coordinator Jordan Villwock stated, “We’re in a city that has a lot of hazards. We need to be prepared to alert and warn our residents appropriately, effectively and efficiently.”
Laguna Beach city officials selected the superior area coverage, vocal clarity, and discreet visual footprint of Genasys systems. Genasys worked with the city’s police, lifeguards and emergency manager to install the systems at City Hall, the city’s historic lifeguard tower, and the north end of the city’s main beach. Additional Genasys installations are planned throughout the city.

Newport Beach, CA
In the City of Newport Beach, following the 7.2 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Northern California in June 2005, a tsunami warning advisory for the West Coast triggered confusion and gridlock as thousands of Newport Beach residents tried to evacuate the Balboa Peninsula. Shortly thereafter, the City of Newport Beach installed mechanical tsunami warning air raid sirens. In 2019, city officials found that the metal sirens had rusted and were non-functional. City staff determined it was more cost effective to replace the air raid sirens with non- mechanical systems that included voice broadcast capabilities.
