亚利桑那州宣布东北部两县进入紧急状态：拨款20万美元应对极端天气
亚利桑那州州长Katie Hobbs 10月30日宣布，该州东北部的纳瓦霍县与科科尼诺县进入紧急状态：10月20日至22日的极端天气给两县带来强降雨、大风、冰雹与龙卷风。紧急状态同时从州普通基金中拨款20万美元，交由州应急与军事事务厅（DEMA）下属应急管理处统筹救灾。
纳瓦霍县已于10月28日正式向州政府申请援助。县政府表示，风暴造成大面积停电、财产损失与道路受阻，给居民的健康与安全带来威胁，这也是州政府颁布紧急状态的主要依据。
10月29日，州长Hobbs前往受灾的Heber-Overgaard社区参加救灾圆桌会，与DEMA代理处长Britton Holdaway、纳瓦霍县应急管理主任Catrina Jenkins、县监事委员会主席Daryl Seymore、副主席Dawnafe Whitesinger、监事Jason E. Whiting、县经理Bryan Layton、消防局长Jason Payne及当地官员共同评估灾情与恢复需求。
州政府表示，这笔应急资金将优先用于恢复电力、抢通道路与满足居民即时需求，灾情评估仍在继续，后续不排除根据损失规模追加援助。
Arizona Declares State of Emergency for Two Northeastern Counties After Extreme Weather, Releases $200,000
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs on October 30 declared a State of Emergency for Navajo County and Coconino County in the state's northeast after extreme weather from October 20 to 22 brought heavy rain, high winds, hail and tornadoes to the region. The declaration releases $200,000 from the state general fund to the Division of Emergency Management within the Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA).
Navajo County formally requested state assistance on October 28. The storms caused power outages, property damage and blocked roads across the county, posing threats to residents' health and safety, county officials said.
On October 29, Governor Hobbs visited the community of Heber-Overgaard for a disaster roundtable with DEMA Interim Director Britton Holdaway, Navajo County Emergency Management Director Catrina Jenkins, Board of Supervisors Chairman Daryl Seymore, Vice Chair Dawnafe Whitesinger, Supervisor Jason E. Whiting, County Manager Bryan Layton, Fire Chief Jason Payne and other local officials, reviewing damage assessments and the county's recovery needs.
The state says the emergency funding will prioritize restoring power and road access and meeting residents' immediate needs, and that damage assessments will continue. More support may follow depending on the scale of losses confirmed in the coming days.
