“In severe weather conditions, such as our communities have experienced in the last few days, Navajo County’s responsibility is to keep community members informed. Early this morning, in preparation of a possible loss of utilities, Navajo County alerted community members through the Ready Navajo County notification system of an alternative number to call to report emergencies. In case 911 is down, an alternative number to call is 928-313-0053.  

We appreciate the feedback from community members on the notification process and we will continue to improve our notification system to keep our communities informed.”
