I hope none of you have this problem; but, if you do or know someone who does you might want to direct them to this article.
For more information on Arizona earth fissures in general you can download A Homeowner's Guide Online Guide to Geological Hazards in Arizona from the Arizona Geological Survey website.

There are resources availble to determine if your home may be subject to fissures. Several different websites provide fissure data, as well as illegal drug houses, known water issues and much more. The two prominent websites are www.eDataReports.com and www.edrnet.com. A specialized report is available for Arizona. Prices range from $95 - $120. Many home inspectors are certified to provide these types of reports. the Arizona Geological society is also a good resource.
