FEMA says it will provide more than $500,000 to the Havasupai Tribe to help with damages caused by severe flooding in August of 2024. The funds will go towards repairing tribal parks, public utilities and other facilities.
The Arizona National Guard evacuated more than 100 people when a flash flood roared through a remote but popular area of Grand Canyon National Park that’s home to the Havasupai Tribe. Floodwaters left many people trapped and prompted emergency action.
The money is part of a larger pot of post-disaster funds for projects here and elsewhere including Hawaii, American Samoa and Northern Mariana Islands.
The latest round of funding came after FEMA announced earlier this month that it would give more than $5.5 million to the Havasupai Tribe for repairs to bridges and ancestral burial grounds also damaged by the flooding.
