GLOBE, SEPTEMBER 29, 2025 — The American Red Cross is on the ground in Globe and Miami, providing comfort, relief, and hope to families and individuals impacted by the recent flooding.

Red Cross volunteers are actively driving through affected neighborhoods, assessing damage, and distributing essential cleanup supplies such as rakes, shovels, tarps, buckets, and gloves. These tools are helping residents begin the difficult process of cleaning and repairing their homes.

For those who cannot safely remain at home, a Red Cross shelter is open and available to everyone in need:

Lee Kornegay Middle School
4635 Railroad Ave.
Miami, AZ 85539
 

In addition to shelter, the Red Cross can provide health services, emotional support, and information on available recovery resources.

“If you or someone you know has been impacted by the flooding, we encourage you to connect with us,” said Edgar R. Olivo, CEO of the Red Cross Arizona New Mexico Region. “The Red Cross is here to help, whether that means a safe place to stay, supplies to clean your home, or simply a shoulder to lean on.”

Residents seeking assistance can visit redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS to learn more about available resources.
