SUPAI, Arizona —
President Joe Biden has approved a disaster declaration made by the Havasupai Tribe in northern Arizona, freeing up funds for flood damage as it prepares to reopen for tourists after nearly three years.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency confirmed Sunday that federal emergency aid will be given to supplement the tribe's own recovery efforts from severe flooding last October.
The funds will be for the tribe and certain nonprofits to share costs for emergency work and repairs from flood damage.
It comes as the Havasupai Indian Reservation . . .
