Winter weather and flood conditions in Tonto Creek are continuing to cause road clodures in Tonto Basin. To assist residents that are experiencing intermittent isolation on the east side of the creek, Gila County is scheduling the Emergency Assistance Center located in the Tonto Basin Fire Dept. Station on Elm St. The center will be open between 11 am and Noon on; Feb. 13th, Feb. 17th, Feb. 18th, & Feb. 20th.
The Tonto Basin Marketplace has agreed to manage grocery orders with a valid debit or credit card. Call 1-928-479-2000 to make arrangements. Don't forget pet food when you place your order.
If you need medications picked up at a pharmacy, please contact the pharmacy, arrange pre-payment and ask for the package to be sealed shut. Inform the pharmacy that Gila County personnel will be picking up your package.
Grocery orders, medicines, and other emergency supplies will be delivered to the Center as scheduled as long as it is safe for personnel to cross the creek. Please plan 24-48 hours ahead of time. Due to unstable winter weather, please try to order supplies to last 5-7 days for each member of the family.
This information will be periodically updated on the Gila County Emergency Management HOTLINE: 1-928-402-8888 or toll free at 1-800-304-4452 ext. 8888.
