Published on June 29, 2023

The City of Maricopa announces the launch of the Maricopa Community Alert Network (MCAN), a powerful communication platform designed to keep you safe and informed during incidents and events in our community. Whether it's an emergency or a local event that requires your attention, MCAN ensures that you receive timely and accurate information at your fingertips.
