Ice Miller associate Lauren Baldwin is sponsoring the Indianapolis Bar Association's Historic Flooding and a Statewide Water Plan. 

About the Event:

Following historic flooding in Indianapolis in 2026, Governor Mike Braun issued executive orders declaring a disaster emergency and temporarily suspending certain floodway permitting requirements to expedite repairs. Hear directly from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources about its emergency response, including provisional rules providing relief to property owners and local authorities, and key lessons for preparing for future flooding events.

The program will also explore Indiana's statewide water planning efforts under Executive Order 25-63, including DNR stakeholder engagement, emerging findings, and considerations shaping the future of water management across the state.

This event is eligible for CLE credit.
