STATEHOUSE (Aug. 2, 2024) – State Rep. Cindy Ledbetter (R-Newburgh) encourages residents of Warrick County to report tornado damage that occurred on July 30 by contacting Indiana 211.
In order to establish a comprehensive assessment of damage, Warrick 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 tornado that struck Warrick County on Tuesday left many residents with damaged homes and no power or internet," Ledbetter said. "I encourage any affected residents to report damage to Indiana 211 so that we can recover from the extensive damage to homes, businesses and our infrastructure."
Warrick County residents whose homes sustained damage due to the storm can stay at a shelter in Castle High School in Newburgh that was set up by the American Red Cross of Indiana.
Wood and vegetation debris can be placed within 10 feet of the roadway for pick-up by the Warrick County Highway Department. However, no trash, building or construction materials will be picked up at this time.
Agricultural damage should be reported to Purdue Extension at 812-897-6100.
