#NavajoNation Declares #DroughtEmergency as President #BuuNygren Signs Order
by Levi Rickert June 11, 2026
Excerpt: "Commission members advanced the declaration after reviewing worsening #drought conditions across the region and considering recent emergency actions taken by #Arizona and #NewMexico. State officials have pointed to persistent drought, below-average precipitation, elevated #wildfire risks, and growing impacts on #WaterResources and agriculture.
"The commission also reviewed U.S. Drought Monitor data showing that Arizona experienced its hottest and driest January-through-March period on record in 2026, with extreme drought persisting across portions of #Navajo, #Apache, and #Coconino counties.
"To address the crisis, the declaration recommends that the Division of Natural Resources move forward with drought mitigation infrastructure projects, including repairs to #windmills and improvements to livestock #WaterStorage systems.
"The commission also recommended allocating $6,553,730 from the Agricultural Infrastructure Fund to support drought mitigation efforts, including windmill repairs and related water infrastructure improvements.
"In addition, Navajo Nation chapters are encouraged to activate local emergency mitigation plans and coordinate with Administrative Service Centers, the Division of Community Development, the Department of Emergency Management, and other entities to strengthen preparedness and response efforts."
