“The Prepare Me Annapolis app puts real-time information in the hands of our residents and visitors, allowing them the most up-to-date information available to plan their workday or vacation,” said Annapolis Mayor Michael Pantelides in a news release.

The Prepare Me Annapolis app is a tool to keep the public informed, said Kevin Simmons, director of the Office of Emergency Management.

“The city already takes advantages of the CodeRED community notification system, Facebook, Twitter, and www.annapolis.gov, and Prepare Me Annapolis is yet another way Annapolitans can receive information they need to know for their families, neighbors, friends and businesses,” he said.
