Be safe!
With the month of August forecasted as the heaviest of the “Monsoon” season, we need to take a moment and look back at the disasters that we have had and the possibility of more in the months to come. To help you better prepare let’s look at our Emergency Notification System that is used in Yavapai county.
The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office utilizes CodeRED® as its Emergency Notification System (ENS). With this service, we can send messages to residents and businesses within minutes with specific information when an emergency or time-sensitive issue arises.
All Yavapai County residential and business landline phone numbers, published in the White or Yellow pages, are already in the system.
By signing up or opting-in, you may enter alternate phone numbers and/or modes of contact. You may also specify your primary contact mode. The opt-in process will require that you have a valid email address.
A confirmation email and/or text message will be sent upon completion of registration (will be sent from noreply@ycsoaz.gov and may take up to 5 minutes). Once registered, you may opt-out at any time.
When delivery of the alert to your primary contact mode fails, the system will automatically fall back to other methods. With respect to phone notifications, if the system detects an answering machine, it will deliver the message to voicemail. If the phone is not answered and no answering machine is detected, the system will redial the number at a later time or, if specified, fall back to another contact mode. When the call appears on your caller-id, it will display the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office business number: (928) 771-3260
Please, NEVER REPLY to Alert message emails or text messages! Instead, please call (928) 771-3260.
To sign up go to http://www.ycsoaz.gov and click on the ENS link.
We know that your personal information is important, so rest assured, all information is strictly confidential and will not be used for any other purpose. This is a free service to the residents and businesses of Yavapai County to provide Alert notifications during emergency or time-sensitive situations.
To help you prepare, please down load the attached “Family Disaster Plan and Personal Survival Guide Check list”. Additional planning information may be found at http://www.ready.gov .

Monsoon Flush,
The reason I like the monsoons is because it washes all of the trash from residents and tourists on our highways, private properties, public lands into our water ways, into our drinking water system and out of Arizona.
For this to be more successful, we need more monsoons.

Happy to see Al gave you the OK to use this picture. It is fabulous. Sedona in the Glory “she” deserves without the charm being choked out of the poor girl.
(SedonaEye.com columnist Eddie Maddock provided the photograph and the idea for printing if Al approved. Thank you, Eddie!)

Wow!!! That’s so amazing . . . really crazy.
Wow….Love it!!!
And waterfalls off the sides of Oak Creek Canyon 3 and 400 feet above Indian Gardens (presuming the rain went that way) I remember seeing rains like that. It is extraordinary. Now if we could just throw in the faint scent of wet creosote bush and ozone, the cool breeze and the dry riverbeds coming frantically, voluminously and all too briefly to life. (This little spectacle will have put a significant head of water in Dry Creek and no mistake) Thank you for the post.

Awesome shot Al..submit to Nat. Geo..first few pages now are just randomly submitted shots from around the world…this is definitely worthy. Great pic…!!!
Monsoon season normally starts around the middle of June and continues through the month of September. The City of Sedona maintains three sand lot locations around town that are stocked with sand and bags for emergency flood mitigation.
Notice: The Forest Road Sand Lot location was moved to the Uptown Public Parking Lot, located at 260 Schnebly Road in Uptown Sedona.
Current Sand Lot Locations:
Sedona Red Rock High School
995 Upper Red Rock Loop Road
Uptown Public Parking Lot
260 Schnebly Road
Sedona United Methodist Church
110 Indian Cliffs Road
Please note that sand bags are not filled by Public Works staff. Shovels are kept on site but are sometimes taken, therefore residents should plan on bringing a shovel for filling the sand bags. The limit per household is 10 sandbags.
For further information, contact the Sedona Public Works Department at 928-204-7111.
