The White Mountain Tribe EOC said in a social media post: “Residents along River Rd. are now placed on “Set” status. Please prepare to leave your homes quickly if water levels continue to rise. Pack medication, clothes, charge your phones, flashlights and other essential items you will need. Know your exit routes and check on elderly and neighbors.”
