Hoosiers who sustained damage caused by flooding beginning September 13 are urged to call a toll free number to report damage. The number is (888) 335-9490.

The number will be staffed from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday by the Indiana Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives.

Callers will be asked to provide their name, address, phone number, damage to property and type of damage the property sustained. Losses can include structural damage to homes and loss of personal property.

Individuals calling will not be in conversation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Information will be used to help local emergency management agencies and the Indiana Department of Homeland Security preliminarily assess damage to determine if federal assistance can be pursued.
