The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has denied the state of Arizona disaster assistance after flooding in September.

Globe Mayor Al Gameros said he was disappointed by the “short-sighted” decision. Miami Mayor Gil Madrid encouraged FEMA to reconsider.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Wednesday denied aid to Arizona counties after September flooding. Local officials estimate there was more than $30 million in damage to public infrastructure and homes.

Tuesday, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will be ABC15 Weather Action Days since rain could impact travel and events.

FEMA has rejected Arizona’s request for disaster relief to deal with flood damage in Gila and Mohave counties. At the end of September, devastating floods hit cities like Globe and Miami in eastern Arizona, causing an estimated $30 million worth of damage and killing four people.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs said she will appeal a decision by FEMA to deny the state's request to declare a major disaster following the September floods in Gila and Mohave Counties.

In a letter released by the governor's office, FEMA said federal assistance was "not necessary" after the flooding in Gila and Mohave counties.
