Federal Emergency Declaration Approved for Indiana Flooding

A federal emergency declaration through FEMA has been approved for the State of Indiana to assist with ongoing response and recovery operations following this week’s severe storms and flash flooding.

Emergency Response Funding: Unlocks direct federal assistance and FEMA resources for state, county, and local emergency agencies to support emergency protective measures, infrastructure defense, and public safety operations.

Disaster Assistance Next Steps: Local preliminary damage assessments are currently underway. A formal request for a Major Disaster Declaration is expected to follow once those assessments are complete, which would open up individual homeowner assistance and recovery funding.

Reporting Local Damage: Anyone impacted by flooding or needing emergency resources can call 2-1-1 or 866-211-9966) to report property damage and connect with available relief services.
