Scottsdale has consistently ranked well over the life of the program. Recently, Scottsdale's activities were reviewed for an improved standing in the program. The Study will involve remapping of the Indian Bend Wash from Scottsdale Road near McCormick Parkway to McKellips Road. The year-long study is prompted by changes to the wash and contributing watershed brought on by development. Your regular homeowners policy does not cover flood losses.
Flood insurance is a seperate policy with seperate deductibles for building and contents.
Rates vary depending upon the flood zone the building is in and its date of costruction. These are areas where water flows over the road as opposed to under it. Do not attempt to cross these areas when water is running. The City of Scottsdale has made available to home and business owners information on ways to protect their property from flooding. The information is available at both the Civic Center and Mustang Libraries and includes publications on floodproofing, state flood control programs, floodplain management, floodplain maps, flood insurance and a directory of organizations which can provide flood information.
