Emergency Preparedness

This Spring has already tested emergency response services. Much of Indiana is experiencing severe weather (thunderstorms, heavy rain, strong straight-line winds, and tornadoes).

Indiana PREPared (www.inprepared.org) has a number of resources about severe spring weather events. Two specific sites to check out are our “Spring & Summer Severe Weather” page and “Flood Resources for Educators & Media.”

There is also a site within INPREPared (www.inprepared.org) specific for Tornado Response and Recovery after last weekend’s storms:
