Globe issues an Emergency Curfew in North downtown Globe ahead of storm

Message from Mayor Al Gameros — Thursday, October 9, 2025

As the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla move toward Arizona, forecasts indicate the potential for heavy rainfall beginning Thursday and continuing through the weekend. The Globe area sits on the eastern edge of the projected impact zone, with possible flooding starting Friday.

Emergency Curfew Implemented

For public safety, an emergency curfew will be in effect from dusk to dawn starting Friday night through Tuesday, or until conditions improve. The curfew area includes Broad Street from Bailey Street to North Broad Street and Highway 60.

City staff will continue to monitor weather developments and adjust restrictions as needed.

“We appreciate your cooperation as we take proactive measures to ensure the safety of our residents and protect our community,” Mayor Gameros said.

For the latest updates, residents should continue to monitor official City of Globe communications and local news outlets throughout the weekend.

Mayor Al Gameros is urging residents to stay alert, prepare early, and take every precaution:

“We strongly encourage all residents to sign up for real-time flood alerts and to have a plan in place—especially those living in lower-lying areas such as Jesse Hayes Road. Being prepared can make all the difference,” said Gameros.

Sandbags Available at Multiple Locations

• Globe Public Works Yard – 150 Hagen Road

• Globe High School Parking Lot – 437 South High Street

• Dixon Rocks & Materials – 1990 E. Ash Street

• Gila County Public Works Yard – 1001 Besich Blvd.

Residents and business owners in flood-prone areas are encouraged to pick up sandbags early and secure property before the storm arrives.

Propane Tank Removal Underway

Addressing public concern over propane tanks displaced by last week’s flooding, Mayor Gameros announced that the city has begun removing approximately 200 empty propane tanks located on the Matlock Gas property under a Right of Entry Agreement.

“We simply cannot afford to wait any longer,” said Gameros. “The safety of our residents and protection of their property must come first.”

The city is absorbing the costs of immediate removal ahead of this weekend’s storm while continuing to work with Gila County on enforcement and long-term mitigation for remaining tanks along Jesse Hayes Road.
