Coconino County

On Thursday, October 21, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) joined
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in approval of a single booster dose of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines in certain populations who completed a full vaccine series of either vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine (Comirnaty) received CDC booster authorization last month.

Coconino County announced today that updated, digital flood hazard maps for the Coconino County, Yavapai County, and City of Sedona sections of Oak Creek are available for public review and comment. These maps, known as Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), show the extent to which areas recently re-mapped in Oak Creek and its tributaries are at risk for flooding. This covers the area from Sterling Canyon in Coconino County, through the City of Sedona down to Cornville.

Below is a summary of today’s activities by the Coconino County Flood Control District and City of Flagstaff related to the Museum Flood Area.

Successful Volunteer Day Today: We want to thank United Way of Northern Arizona and the approximately 100 volunteers that supported residents impacted by the devastating flooding event this week with debris removal today. They removed about 200 tons of sediment from the yards of seven homes.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that certain immunocompromised individuals who have already received an initial two doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) receive an additional dose.

Emerging evidence shows some people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised experienced a reduced immune response to the initial COVID-19 vaccine series. The administration of an additional mRNA COVID-19 VACCINE aims to prevent serious and possibly life-threatening COVID-19 within this population.

Based on current data and updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Coconino County Health and Human Services (CCHHS) recommends residents wear masks in indoor public places. In line with this recommendation, Coconino County will reinstate mask requirements in all county buildings effective Wednesday, August 4, at 8 a.m.

Today’s Storm Events: The rain soaked the burn area (and the city) overnight but there was only minimal floodwater due to the low rainfall intensity. In the Mt. Elden Estates area we observed a small but continuous flow of water today, which tells us that the watershed is very saturated. This means that even moderate intensity rain events are likely to cause flooding.
