FEMA approves funding to support Indiana recovery

FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency

CHICAGO -- On Thursday afternoon, FEMA announced more than $4 million in federal grant funding to support the state of Indiana in recovery from severe storms, tornadoes, floods from Spring 2025.

This funding would be utilized to cover road repair, critical infrastructure restoration, and other emergency actions that would protect lives and property following the storm.

“Hoosiers were severely impacted by these devastating storms,” said Indiana Governor Mike Braun. “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.”

This funding is part of a broader effort by DHS. DHS and FEMA have recently announced more than $2.2 billion in Public Assistance projects to United States communities.

Some of those projects and communities include:

  • $435K for debris removal from roads and public properties across Bartholomew, Clark, Morgan and Warrick counties.

  • $444K for critical roadway repairs in Decatur, Warrick and Vanderburgh counties.

  • $133K for repairs to Owen Valley High School facilities damaged by the disaster.

  • $463K to restore essential power services to communities served by South Central Indiana Rural Electric Membership Corporation.

  • $384K to the city of Anderson to repair destroyed power poles and lines and restore the power distribution system.

Through its Public Assistance Program, which provides funds to state and local governments response and recovery work, FEMA is reimbursing these costs at no less than 75%. To date, more than $12 million has been provided to Indiana for road repairs, debris removal, critical infrastructure repairs, and more.
