Flood Mitigation in Flagstaff
The 2019 Museum Fire burned 1,961 acres in the Dry Lake Hills above Flagstaff, making the area below the burned areas very susceptible to flooding, especially Arizona enters the summer monsoon season. This video features AZCC crews lining sandbags to help mitigate flooding in the 2021 monsoon season in the summer.
The interview footage features excerpts from representatives Patrice Horstman of Coconino County district 1 who speaks about the county's partnership with AZCC for the past two years to help ramp up the flood mitigation efforts in the area to help the community protect itself from flood damage.
