A Message from Mayor Al Gameros (10-14-2025)
The past two weeks have been an emotional and physical rollercoaster for our city and our entire community. We have transitioned through many phases – from initial search and rescue, to cleanup, to recovery, to assessment, and then to protecting and preserving the progress we have made so far.
We hope and pray that the worst is finally behind us.
We will have our regular scheduled Council meeting tonight at 6 pm. There will updated presentations from our city Emergency Manager, Fire Department, Police Department, Public Works, Community Development, Finance, and Linda Oddonnetto Assistant City Manager.
Other topics will also be discussed in regard to the recent flooding. If you are not able to attend in person, the meeting will be live streamed on our City of Globe YouTube page at: https://www.youtube.com/@CityofGlobeArizona/streams or on the City of Globe Facebook Page.
SECOND ROUND OF STORMS: Although our city was spared the worst from the remnants of Hurricane Pricilla, we were hit with a second round of weather and mother nature from the remnants of Hurricane Raymond this weekend. Our waterways handled the runoff well for the most part after the waterway cleanup efforts, with a couple of exceptions.
There was minor flooding on Highway 60 at the Empire building near city hall due to a brief overflow. Additionally, we experienced a spillover at the bridge north of La Casita lasting approximately 20 minutes. This led to water and mud filling the streets, reaching as far as Western Reprographics and stretching north to Courtesy Ford. Thanks to the efforts of businesses securing their buildings with sandbags, most water and debris were kept out of the buildings.
HIGHWAY 60 CLOSURE: Highway 60 between Miami and Superior remains closed at this time, as ADOT continues to assess the damage and develop a plan for a partial reopening to traffic. The primary concern is the significant erosion and wash out that occurred during the flooding, particularly on the section of highway just west of Miami. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and share updates with public as soon as new information becomes available.
DEMA STATE FUNDS: The continued work on assessment and documentation continues with the Globe, Miami, and County for DEMA state funds that cover a percentage of variety of costs for local governments and certain eligible entities after a disaster according to the declaration status. This process is extremely complex and detailed and takes time.
The time frame to complete this initial documentation to submit for FEMA federal funds is thirty days. DEMA funds cover costs for Emergency Response Costs, Debris Removal, Infrastructure Repairs, Protective Measures, Equipment / Materials, Planning, and Coordination Costs. These funds do not cover private property (homes, businesses) or individual assistance to residents. That is why it is vital that we meet the thresholds to submit to FEMA for federal funding.
FEMA FEDERAL FUNDING: It is vital that proper, detailed assessments and documentation are completed under our current declarations. This thorough process is essential to ensure we meet the required damage cost thresholds needed to qualify for federal FEMA funding. Every eligible expense, every piece of damage, large or small, must be accurately recorded and submitted.
This is not just paperwork, it is the foundation for unlocking critical federal assistance that can help our community recover, rebuild, and strengthen our future. These critical funds cover the city infrastructure repairs, emergency response costs, debris removal, and administration management. For individuals, families, and households it may cover housing assistance, personal property assistance, and provide small business low interest loans.
UNITED FUND OF GLOBE-MIAMI: We are pleased to share that the United Fund of Globe-Miami Flood Relief Fund will go live this week. This funding is available to all residents and businesses in our community who experienced losses due to the recent flooding.
Funding will be distributed through an application process and is intended to support direct cost recovery. We will provide full details and application instructions as soon as the fund officially launches. Please stay tuned for updates.
We continue to encourage donations to the United Fund of Globe-Miami to ensure all contributions are properly deposited and available for disbursement.
