Coconino County has activated an Emergency Operation Center to coordinate emergency response operations due to heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding this afternoon in the Schultz Flood area. Officials say County Public Works crews have closed Brandis Way due to significant water over the roadway. Debris obstructed one of the culverts, diverting water and debris onto the road and rendering it impassable. Residents of Brandis Way may not be able to access their homes. The American Red Cross has set-up an evacuation center at Cromer Elementary on Silver Saddle Road. Several other roads north of Copeland Lane have received flood damage and the County is monitoring that area as well. There is also a report of water in at least one home. Public Works has a crew on scene and will begin assessment and clean-up of debris as soon as it is safe to enter. A call center has been opened for people impacted by these closures and in the area to call with questions 928-213-2990.
