Indianapolis, IN – In the wake of severe storms that caused widespread damage across Indiana overnight, residents are urged to report damages through a newly launched online disaster intake and assessment form. According to local authorities, the form, available on the County Long Term Recovery Group’s Facebook page, facilitates swift damage reporting and is not an application for assistance but an essential step in the recovery process.
The straightforward online tool asks for details about the household, the type and extent of damage, immediate needs such as debris removal, and insurance coverage. While completing the form does not guarantee assistance, it is vital for state and local agencies to gauge the scale of impact and coordinate their response effectively.
Officials estimate that the form takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Residents are reminded to have information regarding their insurance policies on hand and are encouraged to document all damages with photos or videos. The form can be accessed directly at the County Long Term Recovery Group website, and local residents are encouraged to fill it out as soon as possible to facilitate the recovery process.
