Jack Garner, Marshall County’s Emergency Management Agency Director, is actively seeking more information from individuals, property owners, and businesses affected by the tornadoes that struck Marshall County on March 30th and April 2nd.

Marshall County is appealing the federal denial of individual assistance for the tornadoes and severe weather earlier this spring.

They are preparing an incident impact statement to submit to FEMA. Most of this information was already provided in April, but additional details can be included. Here’s what the Marshall County EMA office requests you to report:

- If you were displaced from your home for any length of time

- If you had significant debris and clean-up costs for residents and businesses

- If you had a loss of livestock

- If you were affected by a water service disruption.

- If you experienced damage to your businesses, either structural or goods.

- If your businesses had to suspend operations due to storm impacts, they need to know the hours of production lost.

Individuals and businesses are requested to email this information to ema@co.marshall.in.us by the end of the week to be included in this report.
