Sign up for emergency alerts from Pima County. It only takes about 5 minutes and will alert you to fire, floods, severe traffic situations to avoid, law enforcement issues, etc. Go to MyAlerts.pima.gov to create a profile and specify how you want to be notified. The alerts come to you based on geographic location so you won't be bothered with things that don't apply to you. You can even help your neighbor by signing them up if they have a phone.

 

The SAV (Sheriff's Auxiliary Volunteers) has a Telecare Program in which an individual can sign up for the program and receive a phone call every day to be sure they are ok. If there is no answer, a volunteer will go to the home to check on them. Just give the SAV a call to register for yourself or if you know someone who may be alone.
