residents to report tornado damage

STATEHOUSE (July 12, 2024) – State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) encourages residents of Posey County to report tornado damage that occurred on July 9 by contacting Indiana 211.

In order to establish a comprehensive assessment of damage, Posey County residents can call 866-211-9966 or visit in211.communityos.org and click on the “Damage Reporting” tab at the top of the home page to identify and locate damage. Gathering damage assessments allows the Indiana Department of Homeland Security to determine damage estimates and develop the next course of action in the disaster recovery process such as repairs and cleanup.

“The damage caused by the strong winds, heavy rain and lightning severely impacted our area,” McNamara said. “In order for our community to rebuild and efficiently clean up from the tornado, I encourage any affected residents to report damage to Indiana 211.”

Presently, only residents in Posey County should utilize Indiana 211 for July 9 damage reports. Other counties should reach out to their local emergency manager.

Agricultural damage should be reported to Purdue Extension at 812-838-1331.
