Colorado Governor Jared Polis expanded his flood disaster emergency to 12 southwest counties. He added Conejos County to an earlier order that covered 11 counties. KKTV reported the change. The declaration unlocks state help. It also authorizes unarmed Colorado National Guard members. On Saturday the Guard said it had deployed 100 members for evacuations and search and rescue. KKTV carried that figure.

NBC News said rain was still falling across the Four Corners. Evacuations stayed in place in parts of Colorado and New Mexico. Rescues in New Mexico included multiple National Guard helicopter hoist missions. Crews moved stranded residents off roofs, NBC News reported. Colorado listed major road closures on US 550, US 160, and Colorado 17 over mountain passes, KKTV said.

Polis urged residents to follow emergency orders. State teams from search and rescue, fire aviation, and the State Patrol were supporting local centers. KKTV reported that detail. The Associated Press also covered the multi-state flooding and rescue work as storms lingered.

The Four Corners storm system has already forced high-water rescues on both sides of the state line. Tribal lands and small mountain towns share the same drainages. KKTV listed pass closures that cut farm and tourism routes. NBC News said officials still want people to avoid driving through floodwater. More rain keeps the Guard and local crews on overtime.

Mountain towns along the San Juan drainage have seen repeat flood years. This round again cut key passes and left homes islanded by water. Guard air and ground teams are sharing the load with local rescue groups. Officials still ask residents not to drive into flooded lanes. More rain keeps the emergency order relevant.

What we know: Polis's disaster order now covers 12 counties, with 100 Guard members deployed as rain and evacuations continue.
What we don't: When rivers will crest for good, and the final damage tally across tribal and county land.
