Katie Hobbs: “FEMA will be prepared to assist as necessary.”

“Thirty minutes ago, I personally spoke with Secretary Noem who expressed her appreciation for the state's leadership, the work of our first responders and strong coordination between local and state governments. She also indicated that FEMA will be prepared to assist as necessary. I want to thank everyone who is contributing to these efforts and helping keep our neighbors safe. And I want to encourage Arizonans to stay clear of flooded areas and continue to follow local guidance.” (04:18–04:22)
