According to Richard Danforth, CEO of Genasys, the provider of the county's emergency alert system, the recent lack of alerts in Altadena was not due to a software glitch, but rather human error. This revelation suggests that technological failures were not the culprit behind the alert system's shortcomings. The emergency alert system is designed to quickly disseminate critical information to the public in times of crisis, making reliability a top priority. With the increasing importance of emergency management and public safety, companies like Genasys are under scrutiny to ensure their systems are functioning properly. Effective emergency alert systems rely on a combination of technology and human oversight to prevent false alarms and alert failures.
