State of Arizona Earns EMAP Reaccreditation

Emergency Management Program Competes Nationally

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP . . . .this is a national test.

Broadcasters from radio, television and cable stations nationwide participated in a test of the Emergency Alert System on Sept. 27, 2017.  Arizona hosted the national test, this was the third time the test was conducted simultaneously across the nation, and the first time the test was initiated outside of Washington, D.C.

When an emergency happens, do you know what to do to keep your family safe?  If told to evacuate, how do you receive information updates?  What services are available at shelters or reception and care centers?
