Community Emergency Notification System (CENS)
During an emergency in the Maricopa County region, CENS is designed to rapidly notify the affected area of the emergency by sending a recorded message through the telephone system. CENS uses the 9-1-1 database to extract phone numbers determined by the circle or area drawn on the CENS map. CENS launches a prerecorded message to the telephone numbers in the area defined. Cell and VoIP phones are not part of the 911 database; however, the public can now register Cell or VoIP phones with the CENS system. (CENS notifications are based on the address you provide for your Cell and or VoIP phone.).

Maricopa County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan
The City of Chandler has joined forces with Maricopa County and other Valley jurisdictions to create a single multi-jurisdictional, multi-hazard mitigation plan. The goal is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to life and property from natural hazard events. The process involves identifying and profiling the natural hazards most likely to occur in a community, assessing the vulnerability to these hazards, and establishing goals, actions, and projects that mitigate the associated risks. For more information, contact Maricopa County Department of Emergency Management at 602-273-1411.
