Important Information❗️ Regarding FEMA inspectors and how they will work with residents that applied for the Individual Assistance Program.

FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency inspectors are out this weekend throughout the state. They are performing home and personal property inspections for those that applied for FEMA’s individual assistance program.

FEMA may contact you from an unknown number to schedule this inspection.

Beware of scams: FEMA personnel will always have their badge on them, and will never ask you for money.

Free legal assistance is provided for low-income and veteran survivors of the August 2026 severe weather and flooding.

If you need assistance, call 1-844-243-8570 or visit www.indianalegalservices.org.

IMPORTANT! Disaster State Relief Fund Update

IMPORTANT STATE DISASTER RELIEF FUND UPDATE:

Due to the high volume of applicants, IDHS has enlisted the help of a vendor, Bright Harbor, to process these applications. If an applicant receives an email from IDHS ([email protected]) or [email protected], please follow the instructions.

IDHS sent an email to applicants on Wednesday, Sept. 2, asking for more information after an initial assessment of their application was complete:
• Proof of identity
• Proof of ownership (renter or homeowner)
• Payment information

(If you did not receive this and think you should have, please check your spam/junk folder)

Completing the application includes providing payment information: either direct deposit or an address for a physical check.

If an applicant chooses direct deposit, bank account details must be verified by either connecting the account (fastest) or via manual entry.

If an applicant chooses manual entry, they will need to enter their routing number, account number and account type. Two very small deposits will arrive in 1-2 business days to verify the account. These credits and debits will be originated from Bright Harbor Recovery, Inc., which may show on statements at “Bright Harbor Re.” Bank statements may also show “ACCTVERIFY” in the statement description of these transactions. The applicant will need to return to the portal and enter this information for the verification step to be complete.

Providing these details is not a guarantee that the grant will be awarded but will complete the application for final review.

If you have any questions about your application, please email [email protected].

To apply for SDRF, or complete the application, visit https://app.brightharbor.com/signup/indiana-sdrf-june-august-2026.
