Communities near leveed areas in Arizona, particularly in Maricopa County, face residual flood risks despite improved management systems. Gaps in public awareness and inconsistent emergency preparedness could exacerbate vulnerabilities during extreme weather events. Non-accredited levees pose additional risks due to incomplete mapping and assessments. However, the absence of major structural failures in key levee systems since 2020 indicates that current maintenance and inspection programs are effective. Continued investment in risk assessments and condition monitoring is critical to mitigating potential flood hazards and protecting residents in flood-prone areas.
