This is a drill. The District participated in a full-scale flood exercise in June alongside @MaricopaEmerg . Why do an exercise? Exercises are proactive. It is used to inform staff what to do, how to do it and when to do it should an event occur. #azwx #emergencymanagement

It's #FloodAwarenessWeek - DYK typically dry washes can become raging rivers in a matter of seconds, even if it's not raining directly overhead? Tips: stay out of washes and low-water crossings, never attempt to cross a flooded roadway, and stay informed w/ local forecasts! #azwx

Our ALERT stations measure more than rainfall. This yellow light means there is water behind one of our dams! Can anyone tell us which one? #azwx

The flashers on Skunk Creek have been activated. These signs are triggered by water flowing downstream toward high water crossings. Please be aware of flooding, obey posted signs and NEVER cross through a flooded area. #AZWX #OMG
