Board of County Commissioners - Jul 2, 2026
Two inches of rain in 45 minutes buried Stagecoach roads under a foot or more of mud in June. Commissioners declared an emergency to unlock state and federal help; road crews worked past midnight during the storm itself.
Board of County Commissioners - Apr 3, 2026
Half of Nevada's local emergency management staff are federally funded, and the county hasn't been reimbursed for that personnel time since October 2024. The county is still owed roughly $600,000 from the 2023 floods, and reimbursement thresholds may now be out of reach.
