INDIANAPOLIS - In the wake of flooding devastation in Texas, Governor Mike Braun is launching an Emergency Alert Task Force to evaluate the current alert and warning systems in Indiana and identify opportunities to enhance those systems or provide additional warning systems to keep Hoosiers safe.

“Following the tragic loss of life from flooding in Texas, we’re taking proactive action to make sure our emergency alert systems are up-to-date, fully functional, and that we’re making any enhancements possible to better protect Hoosiers from extreme weather.” - Governor Mike Braun

The task force will be led by Indiana Department of Homeland Security and Integrated Public Safety Commission, with input from municipal and county officials from fire and law enforcement, as well as advisors from the Indiana Geographic Information Office, National Weather Service, and cell-phone network carriers.

This task force will work on an aggressive timeline this autumn with its evaluation and recommendations to improve emergency alerting protocols, systems, and technology prepared for the Governor by November 1.
