For now, the prevailing cellular disaster groups are “not but a part of Indiana’s 988 disaster system, however will probably be within the close to future as we improve capability, and enhance expertise, to make sure disaster providers are extra coordinated throughout the state,” Gavin mentioned.
Indiana is utilizing the arrival of 988 to put money into a broader disaster response system, he added.
“This can in the end embrace extra than simply somebody to contact at a 988 middle, but in addition somebody to reply and a protected place to go for assist, if wanted,” he mentioned. “The ‘protected place for assist’ portion of the system will embrace an enlargement of in-person disaster stabilization providers.”
The state will proceed to function its 211 line — a cellphone and textual content line that connects Hoosiers to native assets together with meals pantries, homeless shelters and psychological well being disaster providers.
“Many Hoosiers are accustomed to the help supplied by Indiana 211, together with the choice of reaching a disaster specialist by the Be Nicely Disaster Helpline at that quantity,” Gavin mentioned. “It’s going to take time for Hoosiers to realize the identical familiarity with 988, so we are going to preserve the choice… not less than in the intervening time.”

Indiana State Police arrest woman accused of helping man wanted for allegedly shooting deputy
FOX59/CBS4 has requested a mugshot of Victoria Howard, which has not been provided as of this article’s publication. The mugshot will be added once it is released.
FLOYD COUNTY, Ind. — Authorities have arrested a woman accused of helping a man flee from authorities after he allegedly shot an Orange County Sheriff’s deputy.
Indiana State Police announced the arrest of 35-year-old Victoria Howard of New Albany, alleging that she assisted Austin Schepers after he reportedly shot Deputy Zac Andry on Jan. 3 in Orange Count.
ISP said the incident occurred after Deputy Andry stopped to check on a disabled silver 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix near US Highway 150 and State Road 56. During this interaction, Schepers allegedly shot the deputy several times. Previous reports indicate Andry was transported to a Louisville-based hospital in “critical but stable condition.”
Schepers allegedly fled to a residence located in the 1800 block of Market Street in New Albany after the shooting.
Detectives believe Howard was aware that Scheper was wanted for his alleged role in the encounter and that police were searching for him.
ISP accused Howard of utilizing the ride-sharing app Lyft to assist Schepers as he looked for a ride from her apartment to the area of Craig Street and Wheeler Avenue in Louisville.
Schepers was found on Jan. 4 by investigators in the 3700 block of Wheeler Avenue where he was eventually killed during a shootout with police.
ISP said Howard was arrested without incident on Jan. 9 in Clarksville and taken to the Floyd County Jail where she was preliminarily charged with assisting a criminal (level 5 felony) and false informing (Class A misdemeanor).
ISP added that more individuals could face additional charges for allegedly helping Schepers while law enforcement was searching for him.
The Bloomington area will get more snow today. Here’s how much the National Weather Service now expects to fall and when.
How much snow will Monroe County get Friday?
Aaron Updike, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Indianapolis said the Bloomington area is expected to get between 2 and 4 inches of snow.
Southern parts of Indiana could see even more, with Bedford projected to get close to 4 inches and areas closer to Louisville possibly seeing 6 inches.
When will the snow fall today in the Bloomington area?
Updike said the NWS expects the snow to begin around 11 a.m. and end about 12 hours later. However, he said, the day will bring periods of lulls and peaks, though those are more difficult to predict.
Generally, Updike said, the heaviest accumulation will occur from mid-to-late afternoon, around 2 to 6 p.m.
He urged commuters to take extra time and care, as they may experience slippery roads and sidewalks on their way home.
What kind of snow will be falling in Indiana on Friday?
Updike said the snow should be light and fluffy. The NWS expects only light wind, with gusts of 10 to 15 mph, which means the area should not expect to see much drifting snow.
How cold will it get in the Bloomington area tonight?
The NWS projects that the cloud cover will hang around the area for a while, which will contribute to temperatures falling only to about 20 degrees.
Is there a chance of snowmelt any time soon in Indiana?
Updike said temperatures should rise to near freezing on Sunday, and the area also might see some pockets of sunshine, which should help melt some snow especially on pavement and roads.
However, he said temperatures will not rise enough in the next few days to melt all of the snow.
