Summer Safety Digital Toolkit​

Summer SafetyScorching heat. Flooding. Haboobs. Lightning. Dehydration. It must be Summer in Phoenix.

You’re probably looking for new ways to tell the “summer story.” Now that triple-digit temperatures are here until the fall, the city of Phoenix wants to help you tell monsoon and heat stories. Welcome to Summer Safety, a new campaign aimed at ensuring residents stay safe this summer in the heat and during storms.

More than a dozen citywide departments work year-round to prepare our city for the summer heat and storms. We are ready to respond to emergencies and are focused on our number one priority— keeping our city safe.
