Episode Details

FEMA denied Arizona’s disaster relief appeal for the devastating floods in Globe last fall, rejecting a $96 million damage claim and three lives lost — a crushing blow for a community still rebuilding. Without federal funding, the state loses critical support for home buybacks and business tax credits, leaving residents and businesses to shoulder the burden alone. Yet resilience shines through, as local entrepreneurs like Tyler at the Globe Antique Mall reopen and expand. Meanwhile, a $21 million flood prevention project along Pinal Creek nears completion, offering hope for the future — though it can’t undo the immediate financial devastation. Globe’s officials remain undeterred, actively seeking alternative funding while demanding answers from FEMA.
