Leading all-risk solution for challenges faced by Emergency Managers and First Responders signs agreement to operate in the city of Gadsden, Etowah County, Alabama

BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Right on time for hurricane season, Perimeter, the all-hazards collaboration and communication platform built for public safety, announced today that it has executed an agreement with Gadsden in Etowah County, Alabama to utilize its innovative emergency management platform. Perimeter currently supports other counties in California, Nevada, Florida and Michigan.

I would absolutely encourage any Emergency Management Agency, Police Department, Fire Department, and Public Works Department to get on board with Perimeter

Perimeter, an intuitive map-based system, empowers first responders to address the most important aspect of disaster response and recovery, life safety.

The app started as a research project out of UC Berkeley, where its creators first became aware of the need for new communication tools in public safety. Three years later, a team led by Berkeley graduates is continuing to do everything possible to help responders keep themselves and their communities safe.

“We are very happy to be expanding the groundbreaking Perimeter platform technology we have developed into Alabama, just in time to assist with any hurricanes the season may bring,” said Van Riviere, Chief Operating Officer, Perimeter Platform. “Etowah County contends with significant natural disasters including hurricanes, severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding. Perimeter has uses during day-to-day operations as well as disasters. Within less than one day of initial training, Derek and his team utilized Perimeter to support a local event in Gadsden known as ‘First Friday.’ We are eagerly looking forward to supporting Etowah County through these emergencies and hope to expand further into Alabama.”

Derek Mummert, ILEM, Director of Gadsden/Etowah County Emergency Management Agency,
said: “Bailey Farren, Perimeter’s CEO, showed me The Perimeter Platform and how it’s being used on the West Coast, and I knew I wanted to be the first in Alabama to have the product. As Bailey was explaining it, my mind started turning about all the applications that it could be used for. I knew the citizens of Etowah County would benefit from this product, not just during disasters, but during events happening around the county. I am blown away how quickly, and more importantly- how easily — the onboarding process was. The entire onboarding was the easiest transaction I’ve ever experienced- from start to finish. I can’t say enough about Perimeter, not just the product- but the customer service. Every request, question, or inquiry has been answered within an hour or less and has left me feeling heard and satisfied with the response. I would absolutely encourage any Emergency Management Agency, Police Department, Fire Department, and Public Works Department to get on board with Perimeter.”

With no sign-up or opt-in required, individuals can visit Perimeter’s public map to see if they are in an impacted area during an emergency incident and how best to act.

About Perimeter
Perimeter improves the coordination and roll out of safety measures for first responders and the public for any event.

The maps used in Perimeter are real-time and first responders are able to make important decisions regarding evacuation and safety zones and where its most critical to deploy help at any point during the disaster. Perimeter takes geospatial information, like weather reports, and makes it come alive via detailed, interactive maps readily available to anyone during the incident who has a mobile phone. Perimeter has revolutionized the emergency communications system by providing an all-risk solution that enables efficient evacuation management, information sharing, and collaboration across different disciplines and jurisdictions.

It equips every person who has to make a life-or-death decision in a hazardous situation with lifesaving easy-to-use tools that convey critical information in real time. The Perimeter brand emphasizes safety in every communication and at all costs.

The Perimeter solution has been tried and tested many times. Most notably shortly after inception amid the catastrophic flooding in Merced County. Perimeter enabled the constant flow of information that aided with evacuation and the saving of lives.

After every incident, Perimeter conducts after action analysis which features all players reporting on what worked and what could have been done better. Perimeter also works within each county’s alert system and provides links to the systems that present maps pointing out important locations in the respective counties. Sheriff offices in each locale have instant access to critical information thanks to the Perimeter app and use it to respond to public needs accordingly.

CEO and Co-Founder Bailey Farren and team are working to continually expand the reach of Perimeter across the United States.

WUHU, China, Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As AI becomes part of everyday family life, how will it transform the homes of the future? The 2026 OMODA & JAECOO International User Summit, co-presented by CHERY, OMODA｜JAECOO, ICAUR, Lepas and AiMOGA, took place in Wuhu from October 19 to 24 under the theme “DRIVE TO THE NEXT VIBE.” During the summit, AiMOGA Robotics officially launched Mobo—its consumer-grade humanoid robot for home companionship—and opened global pre-orders. The launch took embodied AI into the home, extending proven automotive-grade technologies and supply-chain capabilities beyond vehicle manufacturing to a broader ecosystem of intelligent living.

Meet Mobo: A Thoughtful, Expressive and Caring Companion. A key highlight of the summit, Mobo makes its global debut with pre-orders opening worldwide. Having previously appeared at the World Robot Conference and the World Manufacturing Convention, it has already drawn strong interest. Powered by AiMOGA’s proprietary MoAgent AI brain, Mobo goes beyond rigid single-command responses: it independently breaks down complex instructions and plans long-horizon tasks, turning Q&A into goal-driven assistance. Designed for family life, it combines spatial perception with multimodal interaction—autonomous navigation, dynamic obstacle avoidance, and voice-plus-vision conversation that identifies objects and makes companionship feel natural. With a full-body motion system of 22 degrees of freedom, it delivers smooth movements and dance routines, remembers each family member’s habits and preferences, and builds in privacy protection from the outset—a companion blending advanced technology with warmth and care.

Bringing Automotive Expertise to Robotics. Unlike start-ups building from scratch, AiMOGA draws on the extensive automotive engineering experience and global R&D network of CHERY and its brands—OMODA｜JAECOO, ICAUR and Lepas—adapting proven technologies, including high-precision environmental perception and automotive-specific large AI models, for robotics. During the summit, its full robot portfolio will appear in zones recreating real-world applications: police robots patrolling mock traffic settings, healthcare robots guiding visitors, Mornine acting as an AI presenter, the Argos Pro quadruped demonstrating following and load carrying, and Mobo offering hands-on demonstrations as pre-orders open. AiMOGA already operates robots across more than 100 use cases—from dealerships and retail to traffic management, security, education and healthcare—with cumulative deliveries exceeding 3,000 units across more than 60 countries and regions.

Beyond Automotive Manufacturing. As these brands move from vehicles into robotics, they extend accumulated R&D, supply-chain and manufacturing expertise to wider intelligent applications; automotive–robotics integration provides the industrial foundation, while the MoAgent brain supports understanding, planning and execution. Guided by the philosophy “In Somewhere, For Somewhere, Be Somewhere,” CHERY, OMODA｜JAECOO, ICAUR, Lepas and AiMOGA are bringing intelligent technology into everyday life and delivering meaningful support to people worldwide.
