FLAGSTAFF, AZ — The Flagstaff community is helping donate labor and supplies to build a wall around a home that has seen repeated flash floods during monsoon season.
Anissa and most of her neighbors along Grandview Drive have relied on sandbags to protect their homes and properties. Outside of Anissa’s house, the wall was around six feet tall at the time. There are around 400 homes and 35 businesses that are in the Museum Flood area. In 2021, dozens of those properties flooded as a result of heavy storm systems.
“You are not allowed to build a flood wall, not allowed to do any flood mitigation,” said Meagan Elliott, with Showtime Dirt Works.“We will be doing all the actual work,” said Elliott. “We were able to go to businesses within the community that we have relationships with such as Cemexm Blocklight, Flagstaff Landscape Products, so many companies who donated materials for us .”
