If you've been wondering how to help with flood recovery in northeastern Arizona, here's one big boost. Arizona Public Service announced Fri., Oct. 30 it's donating $250,000 to the Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation. The storms have damaged homes, disrupted roadways and forced evacuations across the Four Corners region.
The flash flooding displaced dozens of families and prompted emergency declarations in Moenkopi, Dennehotso and Cibecue. The money will be split between San Juan United Way and The Hopi Foundation.
