Mohave County is located in the northwestern part of Arizona. Like many other parts of the state, Mohave County has small to significant flooding events throughout the year. Many communities in the county are located on (or near) a floodplain, meaning they have higher levels of flood risk.

Throughout the year, the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) Emergency Management leadership team meets with the county and tribal emergency managers.

“What actions do we need to take today to ensure Arizona’s future success?” This question posed by Wendy Smith-Reeve, Deputy Director of the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) guided close to 400 participants at DEMA’s Preparedness Symposium.
