High Pollution Advisory Program
In the event that Maricopa County deems
the level of pollution unhealthy, a high
pollution advisory will be issued. In
that event, post your HPA signs at all
entrances at all agencies and
distribute/forward the e-mail detailing
the advisory. Your HPA sign should
look like the picture to the right.
The new
signs are effective the Summer of 2009.

High Pollution Advisory Program In Full Swing
Dear Travel Reduction Coordinator:
The weather is warming up!
With warmer weather comes ozone pollution and the start of
the Summer High Pollution Advisory (HPA) Season. The HPA
season runs from April 1 – September 30.
In an effort to streamline the HPA program, you may notice a
few changes in the program this year. This year, we will be
communicating directly with state employees from our office
and through you.
Attached you will find an information release, a program
component outline, and a logo sheet. This information has
already been sent to your PIO/newsletter editor.
Also attached is a memo for your agency web master. It
concerns the Air Qualify Forecast button that is to be
placed on your agency website. Could you please forward this
memo on to your agency web master?
Your role in the HPA program is simple. First, you will soon
be receiving an electronic brochure regarding ozone. We will
also include some sample email language to accompany the
brochure. Please pass this on to your employees. Normally
we print this item but due to budget constraints, we are
only issuing it electronically this year.
Other duties are equally simple. Each Monday we will email
the Weekly Air Quality Forecast (AQF) to you. Please pass it
along to your employees via email. Additionally, anytime an
HPA is issued, please post your HPA signs immediately and
notify your employees. If you need additional HPA signs,
please call our office and we will send them to you.
Remember to post them on the day prior to the HPA; and take
them down at the end of the HPA day – if it has not been
extended.
Your participation in this effort is crucial. We sincerely
appreciate your assistance in this program. You will be
receiving the electronic ozone brochure in the next week.
And your weekly AQF will start on the first Monday in April
(April 6).
If you have any questions, please contact our office.
Thank you
