LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Sheriff’s Office has issued an update on the name change of the company that provides its community evacuation interface for emergency zone mapping.

As Lake County News first reported last week, Zonehaven AWARE changed its name to Genasys Protect, effective June 27, over the objections of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office uses Zonehaven to map evacuation zones across Lake County, which typically are used during fire emergencies.

This week, officials said only the company’s name is changing.

There will be no change for zone information and zone numbers.

At this time, all QR codes and other web addresses/URLs (aware.zonehaven.com and community.zonehaven.com), past information provided by the Sheriff’s Office, and zone information are still relevant, still work and will continue to function, the county reported.

Starting in 2024, the URL will be consolidated to protect.genasys.com, only.
