TSX, NYSE:STN
Leading global design firm Stantec, as part of the Strategic
Alliance for Risk Reduction II (STARR II) Joint Venture, has been
selected by FEMA to provide engineering and technical services for
the National Flood Insurance Program under a five-year indefinite
delivery/indefinite quantity contract valued at up to US$300
million. STARR II will support the agency’s Risk Mapping,
Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) program throughout FEMA Regions
8, 9, and 10, which include 12 midwestern and western states, as
well as Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Stantec, along with STARR II partners Atkins and Dewberry, have
supported FEMA’s Risk MAP program since 2009. Projects under this
architecture and engineering contract will include regional flood
hazard modeling, floodplain mapping, and flood management services
with the mission of increasing risk awareness and inspiring
communities to take mitigative actions to reduce the risk to life
and property. The goal is to increase community resilience to
better withstand, adapt, and recover from future disasters.
“It’s an honor to continue our decades of work with FEMA in its
mission to help protect the nation against disasters, especially as
there is a rising urgency to better equip our communities against
the impacts of climate change,” said Mike Anderson, vice president
and Stantec’s FEMA program manager. “In building on our program
success with our joint venture partners, we are keenly focused on
the unified goal of providing the critical tools and information
that will better arm communities in improving resilience and
adaption strategies to ultimately help protect lives.”
The Risk MAP program supports communities by providing credible,
quality flood data, building partnerships, and informing
long-term hazard mitigation planning to build resilience. Risk
MAP’s Flood Risk Products provide information that enhance the
development of hazard mitigation and risk-based mitigation
strategies.
For more than 40 years, Stantec has supported FEMA’s efforts to
analyze and mitigate flood risk nationwide, providing engineering
and mapping services to support the National Flood Insurance
Program. As part of its support of FEMA’s Risk MAP program, the
firm has performed flood studies covering more than 150,000
riverine and coastal miles, developing regulatory and other
flood-risk communication products nationwide. These efforts have
also included providing the latest probabilistic modeling
approaches to better inform insurance rating decisions and
graduated risk-based products.
