Summary
$5,000 grants are now available to eligible Indiana households through the State Disaster Relief Fund as residents recover from last week's destructive storms.
Gov. Mike Braun opened the fund while the state awaits word on whether the federal government will provide individual assistance.
Northwest Indiana communities are still dealing with cleanup, utility repairs and disrupted access to food and other necessities nearly a week after the storms.
The damage included widespread destruction and prolonged outages, with about 300,000 customers in Northwest Indiana losing power after the storm.
