Boulder City was built to house workers constructing Hoover Dam and sits closest to the dam of any Nevada city. Hoover Dam is both one of the most critical infrastructure assets in the American West — powering millions of homes and supplying water to the entire southwest — and a potential high-consequence failure point. Extreme desert heat and the structural significance of the nearby dam define the city's unique risk profile.
