United Way of Northern Arizona — Reveal Your Inner Hero: Volunteer to Help in Emergencies

The precaution is to lessen the chance of a devastating wildfire like the ones we’ve had over the years, most recently the Tunnel and Pipeline Fires of 2022 and the Museum Fire in 2019.

United Way of Northern Arizona coordinates crisis response volunteers for both Coconino County and the City of Flagstaff during emergencies and disasters.

The best time to plan for an emergency is before one happens, which is why we’d like to ask you to consider adding your name to the list of volunteers we can call on if an emergency occurs.

(If you are already signed up as a volunteer, we ask that you log in and make sure we have the most up-to-date contact info for you.)

In 2022, UWNA helped coordinate about 20 volunteer crisis response events over the spring and summer, as the region contended with multiple wildfires and monsoon season flooding.

By mid-August of that year, approximately 400 local volunteers had contributed more than 1,500 hours, including post-Tunnel Fire cleanup, replenishing sandbags in Sunnyside, and a massive effort to create and place hundreds of thousands of new sandbags for anticipated flooding in new burn scar areas.
