For counties and cities

Household readiness you can measure before the season starts.

A free app helps each household make a hurricane plan and keep it current. A dashboard of anonymous counts shows where readiness is improving, area by area. It complements your own app and alerts.

The plan they agreed on
The problem

People feel informed. Most are not prepared.

54%

of Floridians only prepare once a hurricane is approaching

37%

of Floridians say their home is prepared, while 62% say they have the information they need

18%

of US households have tested a family communication plan

Sources: AAA Consumer Pulse, Florida, April 2026 (n=400). FIU Hurricane Preparedness Poll, June 2025 (n=803). FEMA National Household Survey 2023 (n=7,604).

The information is out there. What is missing is a way for each household to act on it before the cone of uncertainty appears.

For residents

A household plan in two minutes, kept current

Real screens from the working app. From opening it to a personal answer takes six screens and seven taps. Sign-up asks only for a ZIP code or postcode and an email.

Where they stand

A score that says what it is out of, and the one thing worth doing next.

If it happens: text before calling, meet at North Beach Bandshell, Aunt Jo is the outside line

The plan they agreed on

How they reach each other, where they meet, and the out-of-area contact everyone checks in with.

During a hurricane: an I am OK button, who has been heard from, where to meet

When it happens

One tap records "I am OK" on the phone, next to who they have yet to hear from.

For you

Your area in the app, and the figures behind it

A new area is added through settings, with no new build. Always free for residents.

In the pilot

County and city packs

Your guidance, evacuation zones, shelters and contacts inside the app, linked to ReadyMDC and Know Your Zone. Each city edits its own section.

In the pilot

A dashboard of anonymous counts

Households with a plan, a known zone and a comms plan, by city, ZIP code and condo building. Never an individual household.

In the pilot

Links and QR codes per campaign

See which hurricane guide, mailer or event brought residents in.

Planned

Staff logins

Viewer, editor and admin access, so your team can edit content and read the figures.

How it fits

Works alongside what you already run

Alerts tell people something is coming. This covers the step before: a household plan that is ready when the alert arrives.

ReadyMDC

Tells a family where to go. The app links to it for zones and shelters.

Know Your Zone

The state evacuation zone lookup. The app uses it and does not copy it.

AlertFlorida and Wireless Emergency Alerts

The official warnings. The app never issues warnings of its own.

Get A Plan

The state PDF plan builder. The app keeps the plan current and makes readiness measurable.

Trust

Built for the public sector

Counts, never people

You see numbers by area. Never a name, an email or a household plan.

Works offline

The plan lives on the phone and works with no signal, when it matters most.

Accessible

Meets WCAG 2.2 AA, which covers the ADA Title II requirement, with a conformance report for your records.

Public records

Counts-only reporting keeps household data out of what is held for the county under Chapter 119.
