Las Vegas faces extreme compounding disaster risks. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 115°F and Vegas holds records for most consecutive days above 110°F. Monsoon flash flooding strikes the valley with little warning — the August 2022 floods submerged vehicles on the Las Vegas Strip and in casino parking garages. The city's massive tourism infrastructure brings 40+ million visitors annually creating enormous emergency management complexity during major weather events.
