Each year, the City of Flagstaff Stormwater Section releases up-to-date recommendations and resources on monsoon and flood awareness. With monsoon season upon us, residents are encouraged to review the updated information, which includes the following recommendations:
- Do not attempt to cross flooded areas. Respect all traffic barricades. Streets flood quickly and cars can float in just one foot of water.
- Please call 911 to report a flooding emergency.
- For street or right-of-way flooding concerns, please call Public Works at 928-213-2100.
- Please do not leave trash cans, trash, or debris in any area subject to flooding. Items will float in floodwaters and clog storm drains and stream channels.
- Talk to the Stormwater Section at 928-213-2472 about steps you can take to protect your house or business. There are ways to modify your building to minimize flood damage.
- If you have private property flooding concerns, the Stormwater Section will investigate and may be able to help. Please contact the Stormwater Inspector at 928-213-2474.
