Ready Pinellas App Features
Know Your Zone: If you have your locator services on, the app will tell you if you are in a designated evacuation zone. You can also look up other addresses to see if they are in an evacuation zone. Remember: Evacuation zones were updated for the 2022 hurricane season, so you may have a new zone. When a storm is approaching, it will tell you if Pinellas County is in the 5-day or 3-day cone and if an evacuation order has been issued.
Make a Plan: Use our emergency supply checklist, home inventory and emergency contacts tools to build a personal emergency plan that you can share. You can take pictures of items for your home inventory.
Push Notifications: Through the app, you will receive informational and emergency notifications from Pinellas County Emergency Management, the National Weather Service and Alert Pinellas.
