As a Federal Champion, I look forward to working with the American Flood Coalition to ensure those investments reach communities across Alabama and the nation.

AFC recognized Senator Katie Britt as a Federal Champion. The release says Britt supported accurate, updated rainfall and flood data; cites CIROH, NOAA Atlas 15, and the National Water Center; and quotes Britt saying she looks forward to working with AFC to ensure those investments reach communities across Alabama and the nation.

The bill text states that Mrs. Britt introduced S. 1523 with Sen. Welch. It would modify National Water Center operations, make it a primary NOAA center for water research and operational coordination, support advanced water-resources modeling, oversee River Forecast Centers, and coordinate CIROH with the National Water Center.
Assessments
Britt has taken concrete same-term action aligned with the promise: AFC recognized her as a federal champion for work on updated rainfall and flood data, CIROH, NOAA Atlas 15, and the National Water Center, and she introduced bipartisan legislation to advance water research, forecasting, and National Water Center coordination. However, the evidence frames the AFC collaboration and delivery of investments as ongoing, and the cited bill was introduced rather than enacted. That supports meaningful progress and candidate credit, but not full fulfillment of ensuring flood-data and resilience investments reached communities across Alabama and nationally.
