The Administration issued a Major Disaster Declaration after Sinema led Arizona’s bipartisan congressional delegation in urging federal support for the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community’s recovery
WASHINGTON – Following urging from Arizona senior Senator Kyrsten Sinema, the Administration issued a Major Disaster Declaration for the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. This declaration will ensure the Community can receive federal resources that will support recovery efforts following severe weather that destroyed homes and critical energy infrastructure.
“This Major Disaster Declaration provides necessary support following damage caused by severe weather that destroyed homes and critical energy infrastructure in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. I’m glad the Administration heard our calls and stepped up to help Arizonans in need,” said Sinema.
In August, Sinema led Arizona’s bipartisan congressional delegation in urging the Administration to issue a Major Disaster Declaration following severe weather that destroyed homes and critical energy infrastructure in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, leaving many displaced and seeking shelter. Sinema and her bipartisan colleagues urged the President and FEMA to provide federal support for the safety and recovery of the Community.
