Congressman Crane Engages Federal Agencies for Arizona Flood Relief Efforts
Following historic rainfall and severe flooding across Arizona, Congressman Eli Crane (R-AZ) is actively coordinating with federal, state, Tribal, and local officials to address ongoing recovery efforts. The recent storms resulted in loss of life, damaged homes and infrastructure, and forced evacuations. Congressman Crane and his staff have surveyed the damage firsthand and are in communication with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Cameron Hamilton, Tribal leadership, and Governor Katie Hobbs' office. Federal engagement has already commenced with FEMA, the Federal Highway Administration, and land management agencies like the U.S. Forest Service. While a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act has not yet been requested, as damage assessments are still underway, Congressman Crane is prepared to advocate for its swift approval once submitted by the Governor or a Tribal Chief Executive.
