What to Know About Measles

With new measles cases being reported in Maricopa County, our Public Health Department wants you to know almost every person exposed to the disease will get sick if they have not been vaccinated with the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccine or had measles in the past. A person with measles can give the disease to other people even before they feel sick. Measles can cause serious illness, especially in young children, pregnant women and people with depressed immune systems.  Learn the symptoms of measles and how best to protect yourself and others by visiting Maricopa.gov/Measles.

Teen Dating Awareness Month

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.  Did you know one in three adolescents in the United States experience relationship abuse?  That's why it's important to start having conversations about what healthy relationships look like, before your kids start dating.  Let's help stop abusive teenage relationships before they start.

Fill Up After Dark

Gasoline emissions are a major contributor to air pollution by producing ground-level ozone. Pumping gas after dark prevents NOx and VOCs from reacting with sunlight.  In short, it creates less pollution! That's why our Air Quality Department asks you to fill up your tank after dark.  It's a way to stay cool and help keep our air clean!
