Residents of Johnson and Monroe counties are asked to contact Indiana 211 to report damage from Sunday's tornado.

To help establish a comprehensive assessment of damages, residents can call 211 or visit the Indiana 211 website. Collecting assessments via this process will help IDHS determine damage estimates and develop the next course of action in the disaster recovery process.

Currently, only residents in Johnson and Monroe counties should utilize Indiana 211 for damage reports. Other counties should reach out to their local emergency manager.

Agricultural damage should be reported to the Purdue Extension.

The National Weather Service has confirmed four tornadoes that impacted five counties. An EF2 has been recorded in Martin and Johnson counties. Wind speeds associated with the Johnson County tornado that caused heavy damage in the Center Grove area have been measured at 115 mph.
