moderate,El Paso's desert location creates a unique emergency profile. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F and the monsoon season brings violent thunderstorms that cause flash flooding across the Franklin Mountains and urban arroyos. The Rio Grande creates international emergency coordination considerations along the southern border. El Paso's position as a major military hub with Fort Bliss adds national security emergency planning dimensions.
