How to Help Those Affected by Indiana's Historic Flooding
State agencies are deploying statewide as damage assessments continue and officials offer up to $5,000 in emergency aid for displaced residents.
- Gov. Mike Braun announced Monday that all state public safety agencies are deployed for active emergency response missions following severe flooding across Indiana. President Donald Trump approved a federal emergency declaration, making aid available to impacted counties.

Braun activated the State Disaster Relief Fund, offering emergency grants of up to $5,000 for impacted Hoosiers.
