Hoosiers who sustained damage caused by severe weather — including wind and flooding beginning Tuesday — are urged to report damage online or by calling a toll free number.
The number — 866-210-1925 — will be staffed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Aug. 18, a press release says.
Damage reports also may be made online via the Indiana Department of Homeland Security Web site at www.in.gov/dhs.
Callers will be asked to provide their name, address, phone number, damage to property and type of damage the property sustained. Losses can include structural damage to homes and loss of personal property.
“We really need people to contact the Indiana Department of Homeland Security by Aug. 18 if they suffered property losses because of Tuesday’s rains and flooding,” said Mindy Christian, Jeffersonville’s emergency management coordinator, in a press release. “The state will look at the county as a whole. There were significant property losses in other areas of the county that will be combined with Jeffersonville’s information, giving the state a much better idea of what happened in Clark County on Tuesday.”
Individuals calling will not be in conversation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Information will be used to help local emergency management agencies and the Indiana Department of Homeland Security preliminarily assess damage to determine if federal assistance can be pursued.
