About this app

KC Ready is a disaster planning aid and situational awareness tool for residents of Kanawha County, West Virginia.

Experts know that we cope with emergency situations easier when we're prepared for them. KC Ready makes planning easy. Building a kit of emergency supplies for your home is a cinch. You can even set reminders that will let you know when any of your supplies are about to hit the expiration date.

But there's more to KC Ready than just planning. Check out these features:

A "news feed" that lets you know about certain situations that first responders are dealing with anywhere in the county.

Urgent emergency alerts are pushed to your phone with a distinctive alarm.

Build your emergency plan and supply list, then email them to other family members. Keep backups on your phone's cloud.

An emergency map can display shelter locations, water distribution points and other key information. Live traffic map shows where the delays are, and where they aren't.

Quickly locate Facebook and Twitter feeds for our local emergency services agencies and the Kanawha County Commission.

Quickly access information, including immediate weather threats from the National Weather Service.

In the event of a state or local disaster declaration, our Recovery section has information on how and where to apply for disaster assistance.

Find information from your local community government.

In Kanawha County, our government leaders and emergency responders work hard to be READY for any calamity that might strike. We want you and your family to be READY too. Being KC Ready makes us all safer.

Ratings and reviews

This app doesn't send notifications since the last update. I have un-installed and reinstalled several times with all permissions and notifications allowed. It is useful, but I have to open the app now to check for incidents such as traffic delays. The App also opens very slow. I thinknit needs a better platform. Great concept though.

the app doesn't work. Used to be a very useful tool to know about emergencies and severe weather alerts. Now nothing and no support for the app

this app does not work on Galaxy 22 phones!! FIX IT PLEASE!! MISSED A SHELTER IN PLACE NOTIFICATION BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK!!!
