Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) are installed in the overrun area of many but certainly not all runways. No idea about this airport. And I’m not sure how effective EMAS is in a gear-up landing such as this accident.

EMAS does not help in a belly landing at all. It's engineered to be crushed by the wheels.
