Flood Facts
 During
the New Year’s Day Flood of 1997, Nevada’s Truckee River sloshed
through casinos, and the Carson and Walker Rivers flooded rural
communities and agricultural lands. Since then, Nevada organized
conferences to address river-system conflicts. One major result was
the supervision of the Carson watershed by just one instead of many
agencies. In California’s “Ready or Not” program,
extension launched a Web site clearinghouse to locate lost livestock
and provided bilingual flood recovery education for farmers and
homeowners.
