Ready Pinellas

Download immediately! I lived in Pinellas County for 11 years and moved away. I returned to visit my daughter who lives in zone A when Hurricane came. This amazing tool updated us every step of the way and has made the experience so much easier than any hurricane I had ever experienced in 40 years as a Floridian! Every bit of needed information in one place. Helpful post storm reminders for safety.

News media was providing updates HOURS before this app. App does not adjust with large font sizes on phone. Map key blocks quarter of map. Does not function properly when out of area. I was traveling and needed information about hurricane preparation for my home. The app wasted precious time needed to make arrangements. So many things need improvement, but top three: 1. Faster updates 2. Allow user to sign in and then have app recognize address so we don’t have to enter same info again and again 3. Adjust for larger font sizes on phones. Plenty of residents in Pinellas over 40 who need reading glasses. I couldn’t make out half of what it said because text was cutoff and/or overlapped.

The app has the best intention, however it did not recognize my address or parcel. To be fair nor does any municipal outside of Pinellas cause we are unincorporated. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
