INDIANA — Severe storms, tornadoes and flooding devastated the Hoosier State last Spring. FEMA announced on Thursday that it approved $4 million in federal grant funding to support recovery efforts.
According to FEMA, the funding will cover road repair, critical infrastructure restoration and other emergency actions taken to protect life and property following the storm.
“Hoosiers were severely impacted by these devastating storms,” said Governor Mike Braun in the press release. “I am grateful to President Trump and Secretary Noem for approving this support and prioritizing helping Hoosiers move forward stronger and more resilient. This funding will make a major difference by reimbursing communities for all the work they’ve done to repair roads, restore power services, and rebuild critical infrastructure since the storms hit last spring.”
Below is a breakdown of some of the FEMA grants provided to the state and communities:
▪ $435K for debris removal from roads and public properties across Bartholomew, Clark, Morgan and Warrick counties.
