Indiana Governor Mike Braun unveiled three new one‑stop recovery centers on Wednesday, offering flood‑affected Hoosiers a single location to obtain both state and federal assistance. The centers are situated in Marion, Porter and Wayne counties and will remain open through Saturday, giving residents ample time to register for aid.
What the centers provide
Each location will help victims navigate the often‑complex process of disaster relief, from filing applications for emergency assistance to connecting with local service providers. Officials say a valid state ID is required, and transportation support can be arranged by calling 211 or 866‑211‑9966.
Progress so far
Since the floods struck last month, nearly 3,000 Hoosiers have used mobile registration intake centers and earlier one‑stop shop sites to receive recovery support. Braun praised the collaborative effort, stating, “It’s incredible what can be achieved when local, state, and federal partners come together.”
Additional sites
Similar recovery hubs opened last week in Madison and Delaware counties, expanding the network of resources available to those still rebuilding homes and businesses.
How to get help
Residents in the affected counties should bring a valid state identification card to the nearest center. If transportation is a barrier, the 211 hotline can coordinate rides to and from the sites. For further information, individuals can also visit the Indiana Department of Homeland Security’s website or contact local emergency management offices.
Looking ahead
The administration plans to monitor demand and may extend operating hours if needed. Braun emphasized that the state will continue to work closely with federal partners to ensure that all Hoosiers receive the support they need to recover and rebuild.
