Preventing heat exhaustion/heat stroke
The Arizona Department of Health Services stated the following precautions can be taken to prevent heat exhaustion or heat stroke:
- Stay in air-conditioned buildings
- Find a cooling center/hydration station
- Limit outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day (mid-day)
- Check on at-risk friends, family, and neighbors at least twice a day
- Drink water before, during, and after working or exercising outside
- Check the UV Index
- Check the heat risk map
Driving in extreme temperatures
The Arizona Department of Transportation’s tips for driving in extreme temperatures include:
Have sun protection: In addition to an umbrella, take sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat and wear loose-fitting, light-colored cotton clothing.
Fuel up: Keep your tank at three-quarters full. Running out of gas, especially in a remote location, is dangerous in extreme heat.
Hydrate: Take a cooler to keep extra drinking water cold, and consider adding several frozen bottles of water to use for cooling off or to thaw and drink if needed. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays hydrated.
Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn’t working, roll down all windows.
Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets’ paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire.
Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout.
Preparing for a severe thunderstorm
The American Red Cross’ tips for preparing for a severe thunderstorm:
- Put together an emergency kit.
- Know your community’s evacuation plan.
- Create a household disaster plan and practice it.
- Purchase a battery-powered or hand-crank radio
- Discuss thunderstorm safety with members of your household. Be aware that a thunderstorm could produce flooding.
- Pick a safe place in your home for household members to gather during a thunderstorm. This should be a place where there are no windows, skylights, or glass doors, which could be broken by strong winds or hail and cause damage or injury.
Be prepared and stay safe during the monsoon
“Most Valley residents know how quickly and furiously storms can move in and out, bringing strong winds, dust, rain, and flash flooding. These storms can cause interruptions in services, such as water, power, and gas,” stated Captain Ashley Losch of the Glendale Fire Department.
GFD reminds residents of ways they can be prepared and stay safe:
- Have flashlights with extra batteries on hand.
- Have food that can be prepared without the need for cooking or refrigeration.
- Have at least one gallon of clean water for each person in the household.
- Have backup power for anyone requiring power for a medical device.
- Have backup power for cell phones that do not require charging.
- Have a first aid kit ready and accessible.
- Never drive into areas with flowing water; it takes less than 10 inches to wash a car away.
- Avoid flooded areas, such as washes.
- If waters are rising, seek higher ground.
- Do not approach downed power lines, the ground can be energized for up to 200 feet.
- Keep pets indoors during storms.

Report details ongoing affordability challenges Arizona renters face
![Report details ongoing affordability challenges Arizona renters face](https://gray-kpho-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/v2/2KZKNQMXF5BALOBH2JHSHOZNDY.jpg?auth=574ffeb30c92d9e9beae92cb9bdbd7940607b4d881df528823fc277d47cdff7b&width=1200&height=600&smart=true)
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Housing affordability has been a growing challenge across the Valley. Despite reports showing rent prices have cooled off, Arizona remains one of the toughest states for renters.
When it comes to finding a place to live in the Valley, renting can be as competitive and expensive as buying. A new report found renters must work 76 hours a week, making the minimum wage, to pay for a one-bedroom apartment in Arizona.
Skyrocketing rent is a matter of inventory and demand.
“Between 2021 and 2023, rents went up 32%,” said Rick Merritt, president and co-founder of Elliott D. Pollack & company, a real estate and economic firm. “The state of Arizona believes it has a shortage of about 200,000 housing units.”
A non-profit housing report found that a one-bedroom in Arizona costs, on average, $1,417 a month, while a two-bedroom costs about $1,700.
“Wages are increasing and they have increased, but they haven’t kept up with the rate of inflation,” Merritt said.
He said rents shot up after the pandemic, and although rent prices are stabilizing, many tenants across the state are still struggling.
“If you’re a single person and you’re working minimum wage jobs, you’re going to have difficulty finding a place to rent,” said Merritt. “A lot of people are doubling up with roommates to share the rent; maybe if you’re in your 20s, you’re going back to live with your mother and father.”
Last year, the Arizona Auditor General listed the average teacher salary as $58,000. Based on the rule that renters shouldn’t spend more than 30% of their monthly income on rent, teachers are barely making enough for a one-bedroom.
“It is very common for most educators to have second and third jobs,” said Marisol Garcia, President of the Arizona Education Association. “These things are being quickly taken away from this generation of educators, whether or not they can buy a home, or have children or go on vacations.”
Garcia says it forces teachers to make difficult decisions.
“Hearing that educators can’t afford rent or move into properties is something we have heard up and down the state from districts where teachers have to make decisions to stay in Arizona because of the living situation,” she said.
She worries about the impact this has on the industry.
“What happens when we can’t pay teachers what they need to get paid, as well as the housing crisis impacting them? We’re going to continue to see the retention issue hit the state,” said Garcia.
Police departments are also listed in the report and have seen retention issues.
Earlier this year, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes filed a price-fixing lawsuit accusing a property management software company and nine of the state’s largest landlords of conspiring to raise rent costs. She blames them for the 30% increase in rent across Phoenix and Tucson over the past two years.
Tuesday, President Biden called on corporate landlords to cap rent increases at 5% and announced the administration’s plan to take action to make more public land available for housing by:
- Calling on Congress to pass legislation giving corporate landlords a choice to either cap rent increases on existing units at 5% or risk losing current valuable federal tax breaks
- Repurposing public land sustainably to enable as many as 15,000 additional affordable housing units to be built in Nevada
- Rehabilitating distressed housing, building more affordable housing, and revitalizing neighborhoods, including in Las Vegas, Nevada

Single mother from Arizona represents state at RNC 2024
![Single mother from Arizona represents state at RNC 2024](https://ktar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Sara-Workman-speaks-at-Republican-National-Convention-on-July-15-2024.jpg)
PHOENIX — A single mother who works two jobs to support her family spoke at the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Sara Workman supported Donald Trump in her three-minute speech on Monday, praising his economic policies and critiquing President Joe Biden.
“I know Americans can relate when I say that, every time I fill up my gas tank, go to the grocery store and try to pay the bills, I think, ‘Who doesn’t miss the Trump days?’” Workman told the crowd at Fiserv Forum.
Workman was the first of three Arizonans selected to speak at this week’s convention as “everyday Americans.” She’ll be followed by rancher Jim Chilton and businessman David Lara.
Single mother from Arizona critiques Biden on economy, culture
She said President Joe Biden’s economic policies have caused problems for families across the U.S. — not just in Arizona.
However, that wasn’t her only grievance with the 46th president.
“It’s not just the economic pain we’re all feeling under Joe Biden,” Workman said. “It’s how they’re destroying the American spirit. Everywhere we look, there’s pain, chaos and crisis.”
Her speech came two days after an assassination attempt at a Republican campaign rally in Pennsylvania. A 20-year-old shooter wounded Trump’s ear, killed a former fire chief and critically injured two others.
Workman accused Democrats of systematically spreading negativity in the U.S.
“Open borders, woke indoctrination in our schools, violence in our cities and unjust rulings in our courts. All of it is eroding one of America’s greatest strengths: optimism,” Workman said. “While the left is trying to divide us with identity politics, we are here tonight because we believe that America is always, and should be, one nation, under God.”
RNC 2024 Arizona speaker says drugs from border ruined family
On top of accusing Biden of hurting the economy and American culture, Workman also took aim at the president’s immigration policies.
“In addition to the economic pain, the Democrats’ open-border policies have shattered my family,” she said. “With drugs so readily available, my husband fell victim to the drug epidemic. It tore our family apart and now I raise our son alone.”
Her concerns over the border mirrored thoughts held by many other Americans. A February 2024 report from the Pew Research Center found 80% of Americans thought the U.S. government wasn’t effectively handling the migrant influx at the border with Mexico. Three percent of respondents said they were concerned about drug issues related to the migrant influx.
However, most drugs that flow over the border are brought by American citizens — not undocumented migrants, according to the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Specifically, American citizens made up 89% of convicted fentanyl drug traffickers in 2022. This number was 12 times higher than the amount of undocumented migrants convicted of trafficking fentanyl.
Workman wrapped up her speech by quoting the Bible and urging Republicans to make the country great again.
“I know there is hope. That is what this election represents for all of us that have been forgotten over the last four years,” she said. “If you’re watching tonight and you hear your own story in mine, Donald Trump put me on this stage to show that he sees us, he hears us, and we are forgotten no more.”
