Queen Creek Fire & Medical encourages residents to be prepared to care for your family for at least 72 hours after a disaster. With just a few simple steps you may be able to save yourself and your family when a disaster strikes.QC Fire and Medical Logo


Be Informed
Find out what potential disasters may affect you. In Queen Creek, it could be flooding or thunderstorms and lightning. During a disaster, information is important for survival. Keep a battery powered radio in case the power goes out to stay connected with emergency broadcasts.

Make a Plan
Plan in advance what you will do for the most likely emergencies. Your plan should include a family communication plan, a shelter in place plan, as well as the action steps you will take when disasters are imminent.

Get a Kit
Think of everything you might need if you take shelter at home for 72 hours to create a disaster supplies kit. The list of items doesn’t need to be extensive, but plan to have those items handy. Consider a smaller kit that you can leave in your office or car or take with you in case of an evacuation.

Taking these steps and you will make your family safer, maybe even save your lives, during the next disaster. For more information, please contact Queen Creek Fire & Medical at 480-358-3360

    Maricopa County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan

    Maricopa County and the 25 incorporated city and towns and 2 tribes located within the county have joined forces to review and update the existing 2015 Maricopa County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan.  The goal of mitigation planning is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to life and property from natural hazard events.  Mitigation is not how we respond to emergencies like floods and wildfires, but rather how we as a community prevent the impact of such things in the first place.

    The mitigation planning process involves identifying and profiling the natural hazards most likely to occur in a community, assessing the vulnerability to these hazards, and establishing goals, actions, and projects that mitigate the associated risks.  The update of this mitigation plan will also ensure continued eligibility for both emergency and non-emergency, federal and state hazard mitigation grants.

    The multi-jurisdictional planning team has prepared a draft of the 2021 Maricopa County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan.  A digital copy of the draft plan can be obtained by visiting the Maricopa County website at  https://www.maricopa.gov/1760/Hazard-Mitigation.  Interested community members can also contact the persons below with any questions you may have.
