Just four days removed from historic flooding that ravaged parts of Yellowstone National Park, recovery efforts are gaining speed with the help of more than 1,000 partnering organizations from surrounding communities, counties, and states.

Neither Interior Secretary Deb Haaland nor National Park Service Director Chuck Sams has publicly commented on the catastrophic flooding at Yellowstone National Park, if only to express their deep concern and intentions to rally government resources around the beleaguered park known around the world and often credited with spurring the global national parks movement.

Yellowstone National Park closed all entrances Monday as flooding and rock and mud slides chewed away at park roads, forcing the evacuation of visitors in northern areas of the park due to "extremely hazardous conditions." With the potential for severe flooding in the southern half of the park, officials made the decision to shutter the entire park. Dramatic aerial footage captured by the park's helicopter manager demonstrated the damage being inflicted on the park.

Yellowstone National Park announced Thursday that Mount Doane is now named First Peoples Mountain. This announcement follows a 15-0 vote affirming the change by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN), the federal body responsible for maintaining uniform geographic name usage throughout the federal government.
