PHOENIX -- Super Bowl XLIX was an exciting time for the Arizona community. Parties, concerts, and multiple events at different venues offered the public plenty of opportunity to have a good time. And then, of course, there was the actual game itself, which came days after the other events.

Phoenix -- SUV’s bouncing down rough dirt roads, people studying water divergent projects, radios buzzing with chatter, telephones ringing… these were some of the activities that culminated in a busy 2014 for the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA).

PHOENIX – Walk into the Arizona State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) when it is activated, and the energy of the place—people huddled in conversation and typing on keyboards against the background sights and sounds of multiple televisions and projector screens–may overload your senses.
