Warrick County Tornado Victims Can Now Apply for State Disaster Aid
Warrick County residents whose homes or property were damaged during the June 21 tornado outbreak may now be eligible for financial assistance through the state of Indiana.
Warrick County Emergency Management announced that applications are now being accepted for the Indiana State Disaster Relief Fund.
Who Can Apply for Indiana Disaster Relief?
According to Warrick County Emergency Management, this round of assistance is for Warrick County residents affected by the June 21, 2026, tornado outbreak.
State Disaster Relief Assistance may be available for qualifying damage to homes or property that is not covered by insurance.
Residents who experienced damage during the storm are encouraged to apply promptly and provide all requested information so their application can be reviewed.
Make Sure You Select the Correct Disaster
There's an important detail to pay attention to when filling out the application.
When applicants reach the Event Date portion of the form, Warrick County Emergency Management says they should select:
June 21, 2026 ONLY
That's especially important right now because Indiana is also dealing with disaster response and recovery efforts related to severe weather and flooding that began in August.
This particular assistance is not for the August storms.
How Warrick County Residents Can Apply
Applications are submitted to Indiana State Homeland Security through the state's Disaster Relief hub.
Residents who believe they qualify are encouraged to submit their information as soon as possible.
Residents can find the State Disaster Relief hub here.
If submitting an application, ensure you have information about your June 21 storm damage available when filling out the application.
