Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs

Pandemic, wildfires, flooding and extreme heat? Yes, be prepared for all of them! As we practice physical distancing, wearing a mask and proper hand hygiene, we face daily reminders that emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere. Through these experiences, we must recognize the importance of being prepared for these and other potential emergencies.

The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is issuing a High Pollution Advisory (HPA) for ozone effective May 29, 2020, in the Phoenix area. ADEQ recommends that people limit outdoor activity while the HPA is in effect, especially children and adults with respiratory problems.
