Zuni Pueblo Floods Demand Urgent Recovery | Santa Fe News
Description
Heavy rains unleash chaos in Zuni Pueblo, flooding 20 homes with up to two feet of water and forcing a swift shift from emergency response to long-term recovery. The southern riverbank took the hardest hit, with fast-moving waters cutting power and endangering elders and children—prompting a massive, coordinated sandbagging effort involving nearly 6,000 bags. A united coalition of the Red Cross, National Guard, and state police is now on the ground, providing shelter and damage assessments. The tribe has declared a local emergency and is preparing to request FEMA aid, knowing recovery will be slow, especially with more monsoon storms looming. Officials urge residents to stay off flooded roads while rallying state and federal partners to secure the resources needed to rebuild this resilient community.
