Show Notes
Six months after devastating floods in Globe, Arizona, the town continues to rebuild, relying on outdated flood maps from 1987. The disaster claimed lives, turned downtown into a river, and sparked a hazardous materials scare. Recent heavy rain further complicated cleanup efforts. Homeowners and businesses have invested time and money into repairs, but ongoing worries persist. Local leaders call for updated maps to guide insurance costs, new building spots, and emergency responses. Efforts to redo the maps have faced delays, with the first draft delayed from last summer to late 2025 due to tech glitches. The full rollout is not expected until August 31, 2026, leaving flooded areas still at high risk as monsoon season approaches. Residents remain optimistic, pushing forward while hoping for better maps to protect their progress.
