The mission of the Flood Control District of Maricopa County is to provide regional flood hazard identification, regulation, remediation and education to Maricopa County, Ariz., residents so that they can reduce the risks of injury, death and property damage from flooding, while still enjoying the natural and beneficial values served by floodplains. For 30 years, the district s focus revolved around the design and installation of flood control structures. However, by 1990, approximately 70 structures had been installed, and the district s focus moved to operations and maintenance and non-structural solutions. The district s office is located in Phoenix.
