      Summer Safety

      Heat watches and warnings are issued by the National Weather Service (@NWSPhoenix on social media). During these times, it is best to remain indoors whenever possible.

      Tips on how to protect yourself while outdoors

      • Know the signs of Heat Stroke and Heat Exhaustion (see graphic below). 
      • When outdoors, drink water regularly throughout the day, even when you are not thirsty. Avoid sugary drinks, alcohol, and caffeine. 
      • If you take medications regularly or have an existing medical condition consult your healthcare provider on your heat risk! 
      • Take frequent breaks and wear light-colored clothing and wide-brimmed hats. 
      • Regularly apply sunscreen to exposed skin. CDC recommends a minimum of SPF 15 or higher.

      Swim Season at City Pools

      The department will open 16 pools all season long and an additional two pools, one in June and one in July, for a total of 18 pools this summer. Find a pool near you at Phoenix.gov/Pools

      Fireworks Safety

      Children should be supervised around fireworks. Have a bucket of water and a hose nearby in case of accidents or fires. Never throw or point fireworks at someone or hold them in your hand. Never try to relight a dud! Leave jumbo fireworks to the professionals.

      Take a Hike. Do It Right.

      Hike early before it heats up. Bring plenty of water and a cell phone, stay on designated trails, dress appropriately, and watch the weather. When it’s hot, leave pets at home. Phoenix.gov/Parks/Trails

      Shield Yourself

      Always carry sunscreen and apply regularly to you and your kids. Also, wearing light-colored clothing and a wide-brimmed hat (or umbrella) will help protect your skin from harmful UV rays.​

      Flood Barriers

      Instead of sand bags, residents should consider innovative, water barrier options like self-activating flood barriers. These products are reusable and can be found online or at local hardware stores.​

      Weather Alerts

      Heat watches and warnings are issued by the National Weather Service (@NWSPhoenix on social media). During these times, it is best to remain indoors whenever possible.

      Select Trails Closed During Extreme Heat

      On days when the National Weather Service issues an Excessive Heat Warning, Camelback Mountain's Echo and Cholla Trails and all trails associated with Piestewa Peak Trailhead in the Phoenix Mountains Preserve will close​ from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Learn more.

      Storm Cleanup

      If your yard is damaged during a storm, take your branches and debris to a city Transfer Station to be composted. Residents can drop off up to one ton of waste for free each month. Phoenix.gov/TransferStations​
