The official emergency app by the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).
The MARYLAND Prepares app provides residents with regional emergency and incident alerts within the app's alert section from MEMA'S OSPREY application. It integrates with the phone’s text message, email and social networking features to allow residents to let family members know they are safe.
