Gov. Holcomb Declares Disaster Emergency for Seven Additional Counties, 18 Total Included

0

Declaration allows emergency management to mobilize resources

INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Eric J. Holcomb today added seven counties to the disaster emergency he declared Feb. 24 in response to widespread flooding and infrastructure damage caused by sustained heavy rainfall. The governor signed a new executive order (attached) to include Benton, Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Jefferson, Spencer and Warrick counties—in addition to Carroll, Dearborn, Elkhart, Fulton, Lake, Marshall, Perry, St. Joseph, Starke, Switzerland and White counties—making 18 total counties covered by this disaster emergency declaration so far.

The disaster declaration means the state Department of Homeland Security can take necessary actions to provide expanded emergency services and is a step the state is required to take to request assistance from the federal government.

The State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was activated Thursday morning and continues to maintain a statewide operating picture concerning the status of the ongoing flooding and respond to requests for assistance from local officials. The EOC has directly assisted counties by coordinating the delivery of over 700,000 sandbags, two water pumps, heavy equipment and vehicles, labor crews, traffic control, UAV photography and subject matter expertise on disaster response and recovery.

In addition to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, other agencies providing services and assistance include the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Indiana State Police, Indiana Department of Transportation, Indiana Department of Correction, Indiana National Guard, Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, Indiana Board of Animal Health, Indiana Department of Agriculture, Indiana State Department of Health, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the American Red Cross.

The State EOC will continue operating, monitoring the status of the ongoing situation and providing support and resources across the state.

The governor today is touring flood damage in Clark, Jefferson and Dearborn counties. On Friday, he toured Elkhart and St. Joseph counties, learning about the flood damage and engaging with local emergency response teams.

Term Limit Proposal Draws Mixed Responses

1

FEBRUARY 26TH, 2018 Jeff Goldberg JEFF GOLDBERG EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

Evansville elected officials may be held to similar standards as the President of the United States. Evansville City Council members are proposing a three four-year consecutive term limit. However, the push for term limits on Evansville City Council is already causing tension among council members.

 

The first reading on the matter was held Monday night and the reaction was mixed. Dan McGinn says, “The study shows that if someone runs their maximum limit of a city councilman then they immediately run for county councilman and run their term limits there, so if the intent is to get rid of certain people bottom line is it does not work.”

The terms served prior to 2020 would not count and the three-term limit would start fresh. Councilperson Adams is also proposing term limits for all Evansville officials including the mayor.

Mayor Lloyd Winnecke says, “I personally have never been a big fan of term limits in my opinion. Voters, I think, pretty much have a good handle on when their elected representatives have stopped being effective for them.”

This was just a first reading so no action was taken.

The next reading will be in two weeks and will include a time for the public to speak on the matter.

CONSUMER ALERT: Double Check Before You Write a Check!

0

NDIANAPOLIS - Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill this week is warning Hoosiers to “DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE YOU WRITE A CHECK!”. This warning comes on the heels of devastating flooding in several parts of the state.

In the aftermath of flooding and other natural disasters, property owners are vulnerable — making perfect targets for scammers pretending to offer help cleaning up wreckage and making necessary repairs. Many people will attempt to reach out and offer a helping hand. With this comes the likelihood that restoration or home repair companies – some legitimate, some not – will also try to contact those affected the most. 

“When severe weather rips through Indiana, the damage can be significant,” Hill said. “In the worst cases, the devastation can be heartbreaking. Many Hoosiers face the stress of out-of-pocket costs to make repairs to personal property. No Hoosier should face the additional nightmare of becoming a victim of fraud.

“I strongly urge all Hoosiers to double check a company’s name, reputation, history and authenticity before writing a check to a person claiming to represent such a business.”

Hill advised Hoosiers to do their due diligence and avoid letting the emotional toll of the situation influence their decisions about repairing or replacing what is damaged or lost. It is often wise to be skeptical of anyone immediately offering their services.

Hill offered several tips to Hoosiers: Avoid agreeing to any repair or restoration work on the spot during initial contact with someone offering services – this includes contracts. Avoid signing any legally binding agreements without first gathering information and researching a business being represented. Obtain information about the individual offering his or her services. Research the company the individual claims to represent. Look for signs of credibility such as an official website. Seek reviews and testimonials from former customers.

“The best decision is an informed decision,” Hill said. “Double check before you write a check.”

Hoosiers are encouraged to contact the Office of the Indiana Attorney General if they believe they have been scammed, or suspect someone may be trying to scam them after a severe weather event. You can file a complaint by visiting www.in.gov/attorneygeneralor calling 1-800-382-5516.
