Tucson hurricane guide¶
Tucson has an Emergency Management Program under the City Manager's office, a Floodplain Administration office, and a Stormwater Management section. The city's emergency management page lists floods among natural emergencies. The city pages checked do not publish a city alert sign up, so see the Pima County page for MyAlerts and the county's Be Flood Safe guidance.
