In accordance Executive Order No. 737, issued by Governor Kay Ivey on October 13, 2023, which requires that all existing state‐owned properties be assessed to ensure compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program flood plain management criteria, the Alabama Department of Insurance (ADOI)  initiated the Alabama Floodplain Assessment Project. The goal of the Project is to determine the number and location of state‐owned properties that contain structures (as defined in 44 C.F.R. § 59.1) that are located within a flood‐prone areas, and then conduct an assessment and inspection of those structure to document compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program floodplain management criteria for flood‐prone areas, for mudslide‐prone areas, and for flood-related erosion‐prone areas. 
In November 2024, ADOI retained Stantec to assist in implementation of the Project and project work commenced in January 2025.
During the initial phased of the Project, Stantec conducted a GIS-based analysis of all state-owned properties to determine which state-owned properties contain areas designated as floodplains, and which, if any, of the structures located on those properties are within the designated floodplain. The next phase consisted of Pilot Field Assessments of six (6) state-owned sites in Mobile and Baldwin Counties that contained structures within the floodplain. This was followed by Site Assessments at state-owned properties across the entire State of Alabama. During the summer and fall of 2025, over 600 state-owned buildings were assessed, with elevation certificate surveys also being conducted for most of the buildings & structures. During late 2025 and early 2026, final Assessment Reports, with rough order of magnitude cost estimates for bringing non-compliant buildings into compliance, will be produced. 
This presentation will summarize the project goals, our approach and methodology for each phase and a summary of project results. Next steps will also be highlighted.
