Severe flooding

In April, more than 300 people of the Chinle Chapter of the Navajo Nation were affected by flooding and run-off that breached a berm designed to deter the path of the water, a result of severe winter storms. Volunteers from the Desert-Southwest Conference have been working with the Navajo village to provide repairs. An UMCOR grant approved in September supports home repairs as well as repair of damaged plumbing and septic systems in affected households.
