Flooding Information and Potential Assistance Available!
If you know of towns or townships in your area that are currently experiencing flood conditions please contact myself, Steve Cain, cain@purdue.edu, and Abby Hostetler, alillpop@purdue.edu. Abby and I are working with state officials and voluntary groups to collect information and assess damage and impending needs. The earlier we can receive reports, the earlier assistance can be provided.

- First Steps to Flood Recovery

If you, someone you work with, or your office are experiencing flooding – let us know. We are here to help.

You are also asked to share This Link with homeowners, renters, businesses and private non-profit organizations that sustained uninsured/underinsured damage caused by severe storms and flooding starting on or after February 15 so that a report of the damage can be collected online by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.
Individuals will be asked to provide their name, address, phone number and type of damage the property sustained. Losses can include structural damage to homes and loss of personal property. Information gathered from citizens will assist county and state agencies in determining the scope of damage.
