The JoCo Ready app, launched in December 2025 by the Johnson County Emergency Management Agency, is a free mobile tool for Iowa residents to access real-time safety information. It centralizes resources, including Iowa 511 road conditions, weather alerts, and Pulse Point AED locators, to help users prepare for emergencies.
Key Features of the JoCo Ready App:
- Real-time Alerts: Provides notifications for snow emergencies, boil advisories, and other urgent public safety announcements.
- Safety Resources: Integrates 511 Iowa, Alert Iowa, and Project Lifesaver.
- Location Services: Features a Pulse Point AED locator to assist during emergencies.
- Accessibility: Available on both the App Store and Google Play Store.
The app is designed to help individuals and responders in Johnson County prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.
The mission of our agency is to support our responders, citizens, visitors, businesses and municipalities, and to ensure that we all continuously work together to identify threats, build, sustain, and improve our local capabilities to prepare for, protect against, respond to and recover from any hazards that face our community and that through mitigation efforts we work to decrease the consequences of disasters that occur within or threaten our community.
