A coastal county replaced a patchwork of legacy sirens and manual call trees with unified outdoor warning and IPAWS alerting — activated in seconds, reaching residents on every device in a targeted zone.
The county's sirens were decades old with no feedback loop — a head could fail and nobody knew until things go wrong. When a storm turned, alerting still leaned on a manual call tree that took dozens of phone calls to spin up.
There was no IPAWS/WEA integration to push a wireless emergency alert, and no way to target a single evacuation zone — it was warn everyone, or warn no one.
HQE rebuilt warning as one geo-zoned system — supervised hardware, every public channel, activated from a single map.
Failing heads were replaced with self-supervising voice sirens that report live health back to the console — no more silent failures.
One activation now drives sirens, WEA, SMS, voice calls and CAP feeds together from a single operator action.
HQE stood up and authenticated the FEMA IPAWS gateway so the county can issue Wireless Emergency Alerts directly.
Pre-built zone templates let the EOC issue a targeted evacuation order in seconds, validated through live community drills.
