Residents Encouraged To Report Flood Damage

Posted
No matter how slight the damage you received because of the recent flooding, Kosciusko County Emergency Management Director Ed Rock wants you to report it.

For those who have sustained any amount of flood damage, there is a Web site to report it. The Web site is at https://oas.in.gov/hs/dev/flood/public

For the area to get a Federal Emergency Management Declaration, there must be enough reports of damage.

Rock said that anywhere homes are located near lakes or any other body of water, the chances are there is flood damage.

The Tippecanoe River is supposed to reach its highest point tonight before it recedes. There is no more rainfall expected in the area until at least Tuesday.

As reported in the Times-Union Thursday, an elderly couple had to be evacuated from its home on Sunset Drive in Warsaw. There also was a call to evacuate an elderly couple at Ridinger Lake.

Those who are forced to evacuate are asked to turn off all gas and electricity if they can.The following roads remain closed:
