Broad Street Reopening for Business Owners at Noon
Broad Street will reopen today at 12:00 PM (noon) for business owners only.
This limited reopening is intended to allow business owners access to their properties for assessment and essential needs following the recent flooding event. Public access to Broad Street remains restricted at this time to ensure safety while cleanup and emergency operations continue.
Clean up and removal efforts on Broad Street will still be taking place. We are requesting that business owners park above Mesquite Street. Please plan accordingly and use caution when entering the area.
We urge business owners to use extreme caution as conditions may remain hazardous. Crews are still working throughout the area, and debris, unstable structures, and additional rainfall may present risks.
The City of Globe appreciates the patience and cooperation of our community as we work to restore services and support recovery. Further updates on public access to Broad Street will be shared as soon as they become available.
A Message From Mayor Gameros (9/27/25 3:27 PM)
Globe city Council had a meeting this afternoon at noon to approve and sign the City of Globe emergency proclamation. Simultaneously the county signed their emergency proclamation. The governor has now also signed an Emergency declaration for the Globe Miami area to authorize funding.

As thunder rumbles above, and rain is beginning to fall again, we are reminding the public to shelter in place and stay out of affected areas. The ground is fully saturated, making flash flooding more likely.
⚠️ Please take these precautions:
• Move to higher ground.
• Never cross running water on foot or by vehicle. It only takes a small amount of moving water to sweep you away.
• Avoid low-lying areas, washes, and roadways that may flood quickly.
🚨 Emergency Update – Search & Rescue Operations 🚨
All search and rescue operations have been paused, and all first response crews have been pulled from low-lying areas due to the heightened risk of flooding.
⚠️ Conditions remain extremely dangerous. Please shelter in place, stay away from affected areas, and do NOT enter washes, creeks, or flooded roadways.
More updates will be provided as they become available.

Notice of Emergency City Council Meeting
The meeting will be available to the public via live online broadcast at and on the City of Globe Facebook page.
Public Safety Alert – Stay Out of Downtown and Creeks (9/27/25 9:43 AM)
Historic Downtown Globe is currently unsafe, with compromised buildings as well as hazardous chemicals and debris, including propane tanks. For your safety, please stay out of the area until further notice.
We also ask everyone to stay out of the creek. Search and rescue operations are underway, and any traffic in the area can interfere with rescue teams and throw off the scent work of trained dogs.
More rain is expected today. We do not need additional people in the flood zone. Extra traffic puts lives at risk and makes it harder for first responders to do their jobs.
We understand the deep desire to help right now, our community always steps up.
But the best way to help at this time is to have patience and allow trained professionals the space to do what is needed.
We will continue to share updates as soon as they are available.

This morning we have added over 100 additional resources that include Maricopa Search and Rescue, Tonto Rim Search and Rescue, Pima County Search and Rescue, and 2-20 person work crews from the State Land Department. We are waiting on many other crews from throughout the state.
We will be transitioning to a Type 3 State Incident Command Team at noon.
Our City Council will be declaring a State of Emergency this morning. We have been in contact with Governor Hobb's Office, Senator Kelly and Congressman Crane. We have also been contacted by numerous residents that want to help with clean up and we encourage that but give us time to stabilize downtown and make it safe for you.
I urge everyone to be patient with the process as we continue operations.

A Message from Mayor Al Gameros
To our residents and our community. As you are all aware of, tonight our community has experienced an unthinkable, devastating flood event.
Our primary objective tonight is search and rescue due to numerous vehicles that have been swept into the wash. Currently our local swift water teams are in the process of searching all the washes. We have also dispatched additional Search and Rescue teams from both Maricopa and Pinal County and they are currently in route. DPS helicopter is also assisting.
At the same time we have crews working to stabilize the highway in order to get it back open again. There are numerous vehicles and propane tanks throughout the highway that need to be secured and cleared before the highway can be open.
I want to reassure our community that while there may not be frequent updates at this moment, it is because the City of Globe is in an active emergency mode.
I will be declaring a State of Emergency for the City of Globe to ensure we can continue to mobilize resources and support recovery efforts.
We know residents and businesses are anxious, especially with more rain on the way. Official updates will be shared through the City of Globe App, Facebook, and the City’s website, and we encourage everyone to sign up for app notifications.
