Shiprock flooding recovery, river hazards, and renewed storm risk
A report labeled Nov. 1 says San Juan County urged people within half a mile of the San Juan, Animas, and La Plata rivers to move to higher ground as rivers continued rising; another report describes evacuations and school closures. A broad New Mexico forecast adds another round of rain and gusty winds, but is not Shiprock-specific. Recovery, sewage contamination, and unstable banks remain concerns; verify current official alerts, boundaries, roads, shelter, and aid information.
