Flood Control District Director Lucinda Andreani is slated to receive the Centennial Celebration Impact Award in Public Safety from the Northern Arizona Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), as stated in a recent announcement on Coconino County's official website. The ceremony, set to take place on June 7 at Lowell Observatory, will honor Andreani for her outstanding contributions to public safety through civil engineering projects, as reported by Coconino County.
Andreani expressed her gratitude for the upcoming accolade, stating, "It’s an honor and a privilege to have worked with civil engineers on so many public safety projects for our communities." She went on to acknowledge her team's hard work, attributing the success of their efforts in post-wildfire flood mitigation and forest restoration to the engineers' expertise and commitment. Coconino County Board of Supervisors Chair Patrice Horstman commended Andreani's leadership, pointing out her tenacity in securing significant federal funding for "restoration of nine watersheds that will mitigate countless residents from future flooding," according to the Coconino County website.
The Northern Arizona Branch, along with three other branches that compose the Arizona Section of ASCE, seeks to advance the science and profession of engineering. This award arrives amidst ASCE's centennial celebration, marking 100 years of professional commitment and excellence within the Arizona civil engineering community. Information about the ASCE's rich history in Arizona, their centennial celebrations, and more details on the award ceremony at Lowell Observatory can be found at the ASCE Arizona website.
