Introducing the Ready Pinellas mobile app.

 

Ready Pinellas was designed to help residents prepare themselves and their families before a storm and as a storm approaches. It is available for free download on the Apple App Store and Google Play .

 

Use all of the tools to stay safe and take the information with you as you finalize your preparations.

Ready Pinellas App Features:

• Emergency Planning Mobile App A Plan in Your Pocket: Readiness Checklist Check Your Evacuation Zone Contact List Build Your Plan All Hazards Guide Información en Español

  Know Your Zone:
  • Look up your evacuation zone. Remember, even if you already checked up your zone, you must re-check it as some zones have changed. Enter your address and you will be provided information on your evacuation level, the closest hotel accommodations, the closest shelter and the closest special needs shelter. Note: Not all shelter and hotel accommodations will be available in all storm levels. You can check on the app as the storm gets closer.

 

• Readiness Checklists:
  • Blue Sky Readiness Checklist: well in advance of any hurricanes, this list provides guidance about pre-storm preparations.
