If so, CLICK HERE! _________________________ GIS at Alabama 811 Alabama 811 processes close to 3,000 requests for underground utility location daily. These requests are publicly available and easily searchable through our internal web portal at Alabama 811 Web Portal for advanced attribute based searching.  However, in many cases a spatial search of the data can help answer a more specific question.  We believe that this data could be extremely valuable for individuals and organizations throughout the state and have published historical and real time data for analysis.  We hope that this data will help utilities, first responders, planners, and other stakeholders make decisions that will help protect our underground infrastructure and make it safer for everyone who works around and depends on underground facilities in the State of Alabama.
