We are proud to announce that the City of Globe has been approved for the NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program through the USDA!
The NRCS EWP is a reimbursement-based program with strict federal requirements and a 220-day timeline that includes evaluation, design, and construction. Because of this timeline, property owner participation within Pinal Creek is critical to keep projects moving forward and remain eligible.
This graphic outlines how the EWP process works and why each step, including access and documentation, matters.

Globe City Council joined leaders from Globe, Miami, & Gila County to speak at the State Capitol on the Sept. flood impacts.
Walt Blackman sponsored HB-2070 to allocate $25M for disaster costs. This bill passed this step unanimously w/bipartisan support & now moves forward.
Thank you to everyone who attended the recent Flood Mitigation Town Hall and took time to learn more about mitigation efforts along Pinal Creek. We appreciate the thoughtful questions and community engagement around an issue that affects us all.
The City of Globe has been approved for the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to move forward with flood recovery that helps reduce risks to life and property.
A critical next step is property owner participation. This program operates under a strict 220-day timeline, which includes both evaluation and construction. To stay on schedule, the City must receive Right of Entry (ROE) signatures from property owners along the creek as soon as possible.
ROEs allow engineers and City staff to access the creek for evaluation and planning only. They do not transfer ownership and do not authorize construction.
If you are a property owner in Pinal Creek, and within the City of Globe limits:
📍 ROE forms are available at City Hall or can be downloaded online at https://www.globeaz.gov/o/cog/page/city-of-globe-flood-mitigation-plan. Staff are also available to answer questions and assist with signatures.
Thank you to those who have already participated and to everyone continuing to work with the City as we take these important steps toward reducing future flood risk.

This week, City of Globe staff have been actively working with both Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide detailed, on-the-ground insight into the extent of flood damage affecting City-owned public infrastructure.
This work has focused on direct coordination, site-specific discussions, and ensuring state and federal partners have a clear understanding of how the flooding impacted public facilities, roadways, drainage systems, and other critical assets.
City teams have been walking sites, answering technical questions, clarifying damage conditions, and sharing documentation developed over the past several weeks. This hands-on coordination helps ensure damage information is accurate, complete, and reflective of real-world conditions as recovery discussions continue.
For ongoing updates, resources, and recovery information, residents and property owners are encouraged to visit the City of Globe Flood Information page at https://www.globeaz.gov/o/cog/page/flood-information-page

We are aware of a water main break affecting residents in the Six Shooter Canyon area.
Public Works crews are already on scene and actively working to repair the issue. Service restoration is anticipated by this afternoon.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as crews work to restore service as quickly and safely as possible. Updates will be shared if conditions change.

More than 80% of the creeks in Globe are privately owned.
That matters because access is needed to evaluate drainage, remove sediment, and plan flood mitigation efforts that help reduce future risk. Without access, the City’s ability to do long-term mitigation work is very limited.
This recent flood was different. The volume and force of water exceeded what many areas are designed to handle, making careful evaluation an important and crucial next step.
The City is working with property owners along Pinal Creek to gather information needed for flood mitigation planning and potential design.
The first step in this process is obtaining a Right of Entry (ROE), which allows evaluation and planning only.
Flood mitigation starts with understanding how the waterways have changed through our community.

Yesterday and continuing today, the City of Globe welcomes the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) to town to verify our flood damage to Public infrastructure.
City Staff have spent weeks completing the Damage Assessment Report, an itemized list of the damage that occurred. This included weeks of:
- Walking damaged sites
- Documenting impacts
- Coordinating across departments
- Compiling detailed measurements and cost estimates
- Working against firm state and federal deadlines
After careful review, the total estimated damage turned in to DEMA comes to approximately $96 million in City owned, public property damages.
The step being taken this week is critical in ensuring that our damages are accurately documented as we continue to pursue state and federal recovery support. This verified information will also be shared with the Governor’s Office as part of the documentation supporting the state’s appeal for FEMA assistance.
Recovery is a process, and this is another step in that direction.

Graffiti impacts more than walls.
It affects local businesses, public spaces, and the pride we share in our community.
Removing graffiti takes time and resources away from the public.
It also places an added burden on private property owners who work hard to keep Globe welcoming and vibrant.
If you see graffiti in progress, please report it using the non-emergency line at (928) 425-5751, so it can be addressed quickly.
Let’s take care of Globe together and show respect for the spaces we all share.

The City of Globe has been notified by the Governor’s Office that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) denied the requested Emergency Declaration related to the recent flooding event.
The City will continue its efforts to secure DEMA flood relief funding for the repair and replacement of damaged public infrastructure. City officials had sought additional federal assistance through FEMA, the City is sincerely grateful to Governor Katie Hobbs and Arizona’s bipartisan congressional delegation for their continued advocacy and support on behalf of Globe and other impacted communities. The flooding resulted in the tragic loss of three lives and caused significant, unprecedented damage to homes, businesses, historic downtown areas, bridges, roadways, and other critical public infrastructure.
The City of Globe is deeply disappointed in FEMA’s decision. The scale and severity of this flood event overwhelmed local capacity and permanently altered portions of our community. For a small, rural city, the long-term impacts of this disaster extend far beyond immediate damage and continue to affect public safety, infrastructure stability, and economic recovery.
The City will pursue an appeal of FEMA’s decision to allow for a reexamination of the full scope and severity of this event, including its long-term impacts on rural communities with limited resources. The City of Globe remains committed to working with the Governor’s Office, state and federal partners, and regional agencies to pursue all available avenues of assistance and to continue advocating for the resources necessary to support recovery and rebuilding efforts.
