Exercises like this are essential to refining response strategies, strengthening interagency coordination, and ensuring we are ready to work together when it matters most.

After what has felt like a non-eventful winter, we finally got some snow! While it won’t stick around long with temperatures warming back up, this bit of winter weather was a welcome sight—especially as we look ahead to fire season. It’s hard to believe that just a month ago, we were dealing with wildfire evacuations. This brief return to winter serves as a reminder of how quickly conditions can change and the importance of staying prepared year-round. Enjoy the snow while it lasts, and drop your snow pics in the comments—we’d love to see them! ??? #YavapaiCounty #YavapaiReady #YavapaiWx #AzWx ?? Prescott
