Coconino County Department of Emergency Management issued an IPAWS Immediate evacuation alert on Sunday for the Sedona 8-9-10 area of Arizona1.

The notice, sent at 15:02 UTC (10:02 a.m. EST) on Nov. 1, was coded as an Evacuation Immediate (EVI) message with Severe severity, Immediate urgency and Observed certainty1. It was set to expire at 23:02 UTC the same day (6:02 p.m. EST)1. The desk copy of the IPAWS message did not include further instructions or street-level boundaries1.

12News reported that flooding in Sedona was prompting evacuations and that the City of Sedona told residents in zones 8, 9 and 10 they were in GO status because of flooding, directing people to the city's zone map2. AZFamily, citing the city, said those east-side zones around Oak Creek were in GO status, meaning residents must leave immediately, and that a shelter had been set up at Sedona Red Rock High School3.

The National Weather Service, as reported by 12News, expected showers for most of the Phoenix Valley and a marginal risk of severe weather for south-central and eastern Arizona2. AZFamily said officials urged people to stay away from washes and creek beds and not to drive through water-covered roads3. Injuries, road closures and how many people were told to leave were not in the IPAWS record or those two accounts1,2,3.
