Governor Mike Braun activated the Indiana National Guard to aid with storm recovery after severe weather impacted at least 41 counties across Indiana. Damage assessments and recovery operations are ongoing.
Hoosier Guardsmen always answer the call to serve our state and our nation,” said Gov. Braun. “In times like these, I’m immensely grateful for the soldiers who are on the ground ensuring Hoosier safety.”
The Hoosier Guardsmen from units based in Jasper, Vincennes, and Seymour will assist with Operation Sandcastle. Units in Bedford, Terre Haute, Indianapolis, and Chandler remain ready to activate if called upon.
The Governor's Office is working with the Indiana National Guard, Indiana Department of Homeland Security, Indiana Department of Transportation, Indiana Department of Natural Resources, and Indiana Department of Corrections to begin sand bagging operations in support of flood prevention of critical infrastructure and damage to civilian property.
There are approximately 50 soldiers supporting this mission. The Indiana National Guard remains Always Ready, Always There as the situation develops across Indiana.
