WHAT WE DO

A photo image of the Nevada Floods outreach booth before an event. The booth consists of a blue table cloth that reads Nevadafloods.org and has outreach materials resting on it. The flooding simulation model is sitting on an adjacent table.

Flood awareness outreach and education is a pillar of the State's Floodplain Management Program. In cooperation with our partners, our group attends in-person events (festivals, classroom lessons, etc.) to teach the public about flooding in Nevada and their potential flood risk in the future. Our outreach efforts also include a selection of virtual tools along with a developing selection of lesson plans that will be available for teachers to use in their classrooms.
