We disclose the answer to this question all the time:<\/p>\n
How dangerous is life in Arizona?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
That’s kind of a tricky question. Ignoring the things that can happen to you anywhere, we have hardly any injuries — except for the fatal ones…<\/p>\n
Seriously, this is a bright-line disclosure issue on our website<\/a>. We do an enormous amount of relocation work, and we never, ever want for one of our clients to get hurt because we failed to warn them of the kinds of things that can happen here that don’t happen anywhere else.<\/p>\n
So: here’s the Cliff’s notes:<\/p>\n
In Arizona, especially in the Phoenix\/Scottsdale-area, you are at an inordinate risk from:<\/p>\n
\n
- The sun<\/li>\n
- Extreme heat<\/li>\n
- Dehydration<\/li>\n
- Dangerous desert life<\/li>\n
- Fierce storms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The Sonoran Desert is a place of extremes. It can change from heavenly to deadly in a second’s time.<\/p>\n
If you’re planning a move here, please read all of our disclosures<\/a> — and use that as your jumping off point for serious<\/i> reading about how to survive here.<\/p>\n
Metropolitan Phoenix is a heaven on earth, each day another perfect day in paradise. But you have to learn how to live here…
