Flood recovery centers open in Marion, Porter and Wayne counties; FEMA has distributed $17M
Gov. Mike Braun announced one-stop flood recovery centers are open in Marion, Porter and Wayne counties to help residents affected by mid‑August flooding. The centers consolidate local, state and federal assistance, are free to use, will remain open through Saturday, and FEMA reports at least $17 million paid in individual aid.
The centers bring local, state and federal representatives together in single locations to help residents impacted by mid‑August flooding navigate recovery resources and applications. Officials said nearly 3,000 people have already used mobile registration sites and one-stop shops; FEMA has distributed at least $17 million in individual assistance and approved more than 3,600 applications.
All services at the centers are free and no appointment is required. Residents should bring a valid state ID, current address, insurance information and bank account details. Transportation help is available by calling 211 or 866-211-9966. The centers will stay open through Saturday, and additional dates and locations will be announced as they become available.
