(Statewide) – The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) was activated Sunday morning to coordinate the state’s response to the winter storm.
IDHS says the activation brings additional experts from other state agencies and external partners into one location to facilitate an effective, direct and coordinated response to the winter storm impacting the state.
Governor Eric Holcomb also activated highway assistance teams from the Indiana National Guard that are available to assist stranded motorists and support other types of winter emergencies.
These teams comprise 122 Hoosier Guardsmen working across seven Indiana National Guard armories in Bedford, Edinburgh, Evansville, Indianapolis, New Albany, Shelbyville and Washington.
