Marana Ready for Monsoon Season, Sandbag Sites Now Open
Published on June 08, 2026
MARANA- The Town of Marana has activated its Storm Preparedness Plan ahead of the 2026 monsoon season and has opened self-filling sandbag locations to help residents prepare for potential severe weather.
The plan is in effect from June 1 through September 30, 2026.
To ensure a rapid response during storm events, the Public Works Department has designated staff to key areas throughout the community to address storm-related roadway hazards and help with emergency operations as needed. The department has also increased employee training to prepare staff for monsoon response efforts.
“We do have some newer staff members, and we want to make sure they feel supported and are ready to assist with response teams, equipment and clearing any debris on roadways, if necessary,” said Streets Superintendent Adrian Rojel. “Our number one priority is protecting the citizens of Marana and we are prepared to do that.”
Staff across multiple departments will be available for extended hours to respond to storm-related needs throughout the monsoon season.
Residents are encouraged to prepare before storms arrive by obtaining sandbags if needed, monitoring weather forecasts, and avoiding flooded roadways during storm events.
Self-filling sandbag locations are now open, with a limit of 20 sandbags per person:
- 10050 North Coachline Blvd. (behind the Pima County Water Reclamation Center)
- 4228 West Tangerine Rd. (northeast corner of Camino de Mañana and Tangerine Road)
- Heritage Park parking lot, 12280 North Heritage Park Drive
