Arizona's Infrastructure: Heat, Rain, & Wildfires

Climate Centrals study reveals Arizonas transportation systems under siege from extreme heat, heavier monsoons, and wildfire risks, all linked to rising greenhouse gas levels. Asphalt surfaces reach scorching temperatures, causing buckling, while warmer air holds more moisture, fueling intense storms and flash floods. Local residents and experts warn of growing dangers, urging proactive measures over reactive fixes. Engineers are testing cool pavement and permeable pavements to mitigate heat and flooding risks. Investing in climate-ready upgrades now may be costly, but promises long-term savings and safer infrastructure for future generations.
