“Hoosiers experienced significant hardships during [August’s] storms and flooding, and the response in some areas of the state fell short of expectations,” Shonkwiler said. “Today’s discussion further reinforces the need for recent events to be investigated to know what happened, identify needed improvements, and determine whether legislative action is necessary to strengthen future responses. Hoosiers deserve a response that is reliable, effective and ready to meet the challenges of future severe weather events.”

The final report will be available here.

State Rep. Alaina Shonkwiler (R-Noblesville) represents House District 29, which includes a portion of Hamilton County.
