Albuquerque Metropolitan Arroyo Flood Control Authority - AMAFCA

The Albuquerque Metropolitan Arroyo Flood Control Authority (AMAFCA) was created in 1963 by the New Mexico Legislature with specific responsibility for flooding problems in the greater Albuquerque area. 

AMAFCA’s purpose is to prevent injury or loss of life, and to eliminate or minimize property damage. AMAFCA does this by building and maintaining flood control structures which help alleviate flooding.

AMAFCA will be closed on Monday, May 31, 2010, in observance of Memorial Day.

There is a Director Election in AMAFCA District 5 at the November General Election (Nov. 2, 2010). See News page for more information.
