Over the past two months Arizona has experienced some considerable rainstorms. In fact, on average, the Gilbert-Chandler Area Drainage Master Study/Plan (ADMS/P) Update study area received about three inches of rain over the last month.

If so, we would like to know.

For example, locations could include your residence/property, your business/work, street/intersection, parks/recreation areas, washes, and parking lots. Photos and/or video of flooding are extremely useful and can be uploaded with your pin and comments.

Gathering Community Experiences

Collecting information from the public about storm events is critical for identifying where flooding has occurred; this data helps the study team to validate and verify modeling results. Developing more detailed models of the study area is the key focus of the second phase of this study, which began earlier this fall.

Preparing for Future Rainstorms

The recent storms serve as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for future ones.
