Flagstaff residents don't qualify for flood disaster assistance

Not enough Flagstaff homeowners were hurt by July and August floods to qualify for federal assistance from FEMA, according to a story in the Arizona [Flagstaff] Daily Sun. The threshold is said to be 100 residences or more and $6.6 million in damages.

Coconino County and the State may yet be eligible for federal assistance to pay for repairs and mitigation work on roads, channels, and culverts. ADEM and the County had spent about $5.4 million as of last week when we toured the area.
