Indy Standard

State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) is urging residents of Posey County to report any tornado damage from the July 9 event by contacting Indiana 211. To ensure a thorough assessment, residents can call 866-211-9966 or visit in211.communityos.org and click on the "Damage Reporting" tab.

Gathering these assessments will enable the Indiana Department of Homeland Security to estimate damages and plan subsequent actions for disaster recovery, including repairs and cleanup efforts.

"The damage caused by the strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning severely impacted our area," McNamara stated. "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."

Currently, only Posey County residents should use Indiana 211 for reporting damage from July 9. Residents of other counties are advised to contact their local emergency managers. Agricultural damage should be reported to Purdue Extension at 812-838-1331.
