INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- A new tool is aiming to help those in Indiana impacted by recent severe storms and flooding.

Indiana governor Mike Braun announced that, by texting IN211HELP to 898-211, users will be able to select the type of needed assistance. The service will then provide a list of disaster-specific resources based on the user's zip code.

This program is through Indiana 211.

"Hoosiers impacted by these storms are focused on taking care of their families, their homes and their communities, and they shouldn’t have to spend hours searching for the help they need,” said Gov. Braun. “This new Indiana 211 disaster resources texting service puts disaster resources directly in the hands of Hoosiers and makes it easier to connect with available assistance as Indiana continues its recovery.”

The governor says that those who need additional assistance can call 2-1-1, or finish IN211.org.
