City Of Globe -

A Message From Mayor Gameros:

Globe City Council had a special meeting this afternoon at noon to approve and sign the City of Globe Emergency Proclamation. Simultaneously the county signed their emergency proclamation. The Governor Hobbs has now also signed an Emergency declaration for the Globe Miami area to authorize funding.

We have been a direct contact with Governor Hobbs, Senator Mark Kelly, Senator Ruben Gallego, Congressman Andy Biggs and Congressman Eli Crane, who will also be involved with working with their teams to expedite funding to our city.

We want to assure the business community and all our residents that our Council is doing everything possible to expedite funding and identify funding opportunities for the business community to begin the assessment process of their buildings so we can move forward with rebuilding.

We continue to receive resources from all over the state to assist us during this emergency event. A Type 3 Incident Command Team is in transition to take over the incident.

All search and rescue operations were temporarily halted this afternoon due to the rain and the safety of our first responders.

Work continues downtown to stabilize the area so that we are able to allow the owners of the businesses to enter the downtown area.

As soon as the Type Three Incident Management takes over complete control of the incident, information will be shared about a location to accept donations of supplies. We will continue to update you as things evolve.

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.

A 7am briefing was held this morning led by, Chief Robinson, Globe FD at Judy's Cookhouse which is the staging area at this time.

Our main objective remains search and rescue in the waterways. Highway 60 has been re-opened, but Broad Street remains closed to the public until all hazards have been mitigated.

There are two Red Cross shelters opened at High Desert and Lee Kornegay.

Crews continued work throughout the night. We want to thank them for their diligent work. This includes Globe FD, Globe PD, Globe Public Works, Gila County, Gila County Emergency Services and DPS.

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.
