FLORENCE, AZ – In the coming days, homeowners are likely to learn the limits of their property insurance protection. The only protection from flood-related water damage is a flood insurance policy. Flooding risk is significant in portions of Pinal County but even properties that are not in a designated flood zone are only protected if they have flood insurance.
On September 7, 2011 from 8:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M., the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) and Pinal County will host a workshop on FEMA Elevation Certificates. The workshop’s content is geared to:
- Private and public engineers
- Floodplain administrators
- Land surveyors
- Building, planning, and public works staff
- Builders and developers
- Government workers who deal with development
Registration IS required but attendance is free. The program will be held in the Emergency Operations Center, which is to the right of the main entrance to Building F at 31 North Pinal Avenue. The registration deadline is Friday, September 2, 2011.
For more information or to register, contact Brian Cosson at ADWR at (602) 771-8657 or btcossan@azwater.gov or Chris Wanamaker at Pinal County’s Flood Control Section at (520) 866-6010 or Christopher.wanamaker@pinalcountyaz.gov.
