Donation for Havasupai flood damage; Web site of flood videos

I saw this on Arizona Geology, but figured others would fine it of interest as well.

The Havasupai Tribe announced a $1 million donation that will allow them to build an early warning system for floods and repair damage from the August flood that devastated their Grand Canyon home.

The donation is from the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians which is based in San Bernardino County, California.The funds will be used to:

• Rebuild infrastructure, including bridges and trails
• Install early warning system
• Update emergency response plan
• Provide emergency assistance to Tribe members who lost their jobs as a result of the flood
• Prepare tourism materials to revive their economy

There is a Web site I just found that has compiled 11 videos of the flood, plus links to numerous first-person accounts, photo albums, and news stories. There are lots here that I haven't seen before - http://www.havasupaiflood.com/

Rain and a Dam Failure along Havasu Creek

In case you haven't seen the coverage yet, a dam failure of the Redlands Dam along Cataract Creek combined with about 8 inches of rain in two days has caused severe flash flooding along Havasu Creek. As a result, Havasupai Village and the popular campgrounds have been evacuated. I haven't heard any reports of death or injury and damage to the village doesn't seem to be severe, however several foot bridges along have apparently been washed out.

Lots of media coverage is available:
