A lawsuit has been filed against Genasys Inc., a communications contractor for Los Angeles County, alleging that their failure to issue timely evacuation alerts during January's Eaton Fire contributed to the deaths of 18 people in Altadena. The lawsuit accuses Genasys of "digital redlining," suggesting that residents were not warned in time due to systemic issues within the alert system. The Eaton Fire, which devastated parts of the Altadena neighborhood, has led to increased scrutiny of the emergency communication protocols in place.
