Overview

• Officials confirmed three fatalities in Globe and a fourth in Scottsdale, with search teams still working to account for missing people.
• Roughly 1,000 residential propane tanks were swept into Globe’s center, prompting hazmat assessments and a city warning that the downtown area is unsafe.
• Gov. Katie Hobbs declared a state of emergency, activating Arizona National Guard support and bringing in multi‑agency search-and-rescue, drone and mutual‑aid teams.
• Crews reported compromised buildings, debris‑choked washes and intermittent road closures, including on U.S. 60, as high water and new storms complicated field work.
• Residents were urged to shelter in place, avoid flood zones and let trained teams operate, with Red Cross shelters opened in Globe-Miami and additional support sites standing by.
