When you mention flood insurance to people in Florida or on the coast of the Atlantic, they say, "Of course I have flood insurance!" You will get the same response from people in the Ohio Valley who are close to the Mississippi River or other large bodies of water. But when you ask someone in Las Vegas, Nevada if they have flood insurance, the answer might be a blank stare.
That’s because they don’t live on the coast and they are not right next to rivers that might overflow their banks at the first sign of rain. However, if you study the map of Las Vegas, you will find that they are only 30 miles from a large lake known as Lake Mead. In addition, there are a number of other smaller water inlets and streams, creeks, and small water sources that, when combined with hours of downpours, could end up flooding the Las Vegas area.
Learn from the Past
Many people have learned from other towns and states that were taken by surprise such as the state of Colorado that, in 2013, was covered with a huge flood that took hundreds of lives, farm animals, and property practically overnight when the Redstone River and other bodies of water converged after a 3-day flood.
