FLAGSTAFF, AZ - The Arizona Division of Emergency Management says residents living in three communities north of Flagstaff won't see federal funding to help rebuild after summer floods.
State officials say the damage is not great enough under the Federal Emergency Management Agency's criteria for a presidential disaster declaration and assistance to individuals.
FEMA steps in when there are 100 or more uninsured properties destroyed or sustaining minor damage in a concentrated area.
The area still could qualify for federal assistance under FEMA for public infrastructure. Officials are tallying damages from a Monday assessment of public roads and culverts affected by the flooding.
The threshold for eligibility is $6.6 million in damages.
