Handyman Insurance, Clark County Fast-Tracks Crucial Flash Flood Fix
Las Vegas Paving performs a four-mile CMAR flood-control upgrade in the heart of the city to remove 1,700 structures from a high-risk flood zone. Sunbaked Southern Nevada sees a scant 4 in. of rain annually. When a downpour occurs, however, it can be violent, abrupt and torrential. Often, the result is flash-flooding that particularly impacts low-lying northeast Las Vegas, where heavy rains routinely cause water damage to homes, businesses and properties. In 2011, the Federal Emergency Management Agency added 1,700 structures to the area’s high-risk flood zone, making insurance premiums nearly five times pricier.
