COTTONWOOD At 6 a.m. Tuesday, about 150 volunteers checked in at Mingus Union High School in Cottonwood to start the third morning of searching for Faith Moore.
The school has become a command post for the search for Moore, who was swept away in floodwaters that quickly grew higher than 8 feet Saturday night.
In the parking lot of the high school on Tuesday, other community members dropped off food, water and other items for officials and volunteers. Many others checked in to help throughout the day, according to Chad Sinn from the Cottonwood Police Department.
Some volunteers searched along the wash where Moore went missing, while others stayed at the post to help direct those who were just coming in or leaving.

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended education in Sedona and the Verde Valley, with some school districts having shifted between remote and in-person learning multiple times in the first half of the 2020-21 school year alone.
The disruption goes beyond the decisions of individual school boards on how to instruct students, as all area districts have reported declines in enrollment for this school year. Though many families have left on their own accord this year to try out homeschooling options or move to a district where the in-person regulations were preferred, other students were forced to be dropped due to inactivity.
