INDIANAPOLIS - Governor Mike Braun has declared a state of disaster emergency for 63 Indiana counties impacted by severe weather from June 6 through June 18.
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security has opened applications to the State Disaster Relief Fund (SDRF) for residents in qualifying counties who incurred damage to their homes or property as a result of the flooding, severe weather, tornadic activity, and a derecho this month. The local counties included are Bartholomew, Johnson, Jackson, Jennings, Decatur, Shelby, Morgan, and Brown.
Teams from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security are currently completing damage assessments in multiple counties throughout the state. Additional homeowners or jurisdictions may qualify later for financial assistance based on damage assessment data.
The SDRF is not currently accepting applications for the Public Assistance program. Local jurisdictions impacted by eligible disaster events will be notified if Public Assistance becomes available.
If eligible, apply here for funds from the State Disaster Relief Fund (Individual Assistance).
The State Disaster Relief Fund applies only to individuals who are uninsured or underinsured. State funding cannot replace insurance coverage, which is the primary and best source of protection from storm damage. The fund only covers the costs of repairing, replacing, or restoring the applicant's primary residence and cannot be used to pay insurance deductibles.
