INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) was activated at 7 a.m. on Sunday to coordinate the state’s response to the winter storm.
This activation brings additional subject matter experts from other state agencies and external partners into one location to facilitate an effective, direct, and coordinated response to the winter storm impacting the state.
Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb also activated highway assistance teams from the Indiana National Guard to respond to some areas with dangerous road conditions. These teams comprise 122 Hoosier Guardsmen working across seven Indiana National Guard armories in Bedford, Edinburgh, Evansville, Indianapolis, New Albany, Shelbyville, and Washington.
IDHS encourages Hoosiers to be safe. Visit GetPrepared.in.gov for winter storm travel and safety tips.
