About

The Nevada Flood Awareness Committee formed in late 2013 to raise awareness among Nevadans that serious flooding occurs regularly in our state, and that there are steps residents can take to mitigate the risk. The objectives of the committee are to effectively disseminate flood, flood preparedness and flood insurance information to Nevadans through annual activities in northern and rural Nevada and NevadaFloods.org.

Nevada Flood Awareness Week, a Nevada Flood Awareness Committee initiative, has been organized annually since November, 2014. Led by the Nevada Division of Water Resources, this inter-agency collaborative effort enhances the committee's year-round outreach efforts through a combination of various advertising media and in-person events.

Nevada has regional flood authorities that provide additional information about flooding in their respective areas. The Clark County Regional Flood Control District does extensive monitoring, alerting and education about the unique flooding challenges in Southern Nevada. The Truckee River Flood Management Authority also does extensive monitoring, flood mitigation and education in the Truckee Meadows. The Carson River SubConservancy District performs flood mapping studies, community education, leads the Carson River Coalition and much more throughout the Carson River watershed.
