Clark County contains several large rivers and smaller streams that are prone to annual flooding that pose threats to life and safety and cause significant property damage.
May 2012 update
Clark County is updating its flood hazard ordinance as part of the process for adopting final flood insurance rate maps issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The maps and related flood study take effect on Sept. 5, 2012. Before the effective date, the county must amend its flood hazard ordinance and adopt the new maps so residents can continue to purchase flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program.
The Clark County Planning Commission will have a June 7 work session on the issue, followed by a public hearing on June 21. A final hearing before the Board of County Commissioners has not been scheduled.
