TUCSON, Ariz. — People tend to think of Memorial Day as the kick off to summer—and around here that means extreme storms from the monsoon are not far away. So it’s time to add some extra protection against what storms can do to your property.

The 49ers neighborhood is so lush and green it hardly seems like part of the Sonoran Desert but it is and it has something else you wouldn’t expect in the desert: a risk of flooding. Recently, a Foothills neighborhood near Skyline and Columbus was in a recognized floodplain but did not have much history of serious flooding.

With monsoon coming soon, Pima County Flood Control is urging homeowners—and renters to make sure they have flood insurance to cover their homes and what’s in them. It does not come standard with a homeowners policy and you have to buy it well before the big storms hit.
