COCONINO COUNTY — Flood Control District Director Lucinda Andreani will be presented with the Centennial Celebration Impact Award in Public Safety from the Northern Arizona Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) on Saturday, Jun. 7 at Lowell Observatory.
“It’s an honor and a privilege to have worked with civil engineers on so many public safety projects for our communities,” Andreani said. “We have a remarkable team, and the success of our post-wildfire flood mitigation projects and our Forest Restoration Initiative is in great part due to the expertise and commitment of our civil engineers.”
“Lucinda Andreani leads the Flood Control District as it addresses post-wildfire flooding from three catastrophic wildfires,” Coconino County Board of Supervisors Chair Patrice Horstman said. “Her determination and approach to leadership empowers her team and led to the restoration of nine watersheds that will mitigate countless residents from future flooding. Her tenacity secured significant federal funding for these projects, and we are all safer for her efforts.”
