FRANKLIN COUNTY FLOOD RECOVERY: WE’RE REACHING OUT!

The Franklin County Long-Term Recovery Group (FC LTRG) continues working to identify residents who have unmet needs following the devastating August flooding.

In the last three weeks, our volunteers have connected with 115 flood survivors through phone calls and in-person conversations. These efforts are helping us better understand where families are in the recovery process and what assistance is still needed.

As part of our ongoing outreach, volunteers are contacting everyone who registered through 211 to check on their recovery progress and identify remaining needs.

We recognize many residents have already received assistance through FEMA, local organizations, churches, volunteers and other resources. We are grateful for the tremendous support our communities have received.

However, receiving some assistance does not necessarily mean recovery is complete.
Families are still facing challenges involving home repairs, rebuilding, temporary housing, replacement of essential household items and other flood-related needs.

IF YOU REGISTERED WITH 211, PLEASE BE WATCHING FOR OUR CALL!

Volunteers will identify themselves by name and explain that they are contacting you on behalf of the Franklin County Long-Term Recovery Group. They will ask about your current recovery status and whether additional assistance is needed.

If you missed a call, have not yet been contacted or were affected by the flooding but did not register with 211, we encourage you to reach out directly.

Phone: (317) 426-9829
Email: [email protected]

Our mission is to connect flood survivors with available resources and coordinate long-term recovery efforts so that individuals and families are not left to navigate the rebuilding process alone.

PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
Share this information with friends, family and neighbors affected by the flooding, especially those who may be hesitant to answer unfamiliar phone numbers or who do not use social media.
Recovery doesn’t happen overnight, and our work is far from finished. Together, we can help Franklin County recover, rebuild and move forward.

2026 ELECTION COVERAGE: CANDIDATE INTERVIEWS COMING SOON!

With the November 3 general election approaching, Whitewater Publications is preparing a series of recorded candidate interviews to help voters learn more about those seeking public office.

Invitations have been extended to candidates in the races we are covering, including school board, county commissioner, sheriff and state representative.

Each candidate will have an opportunity to participate in an individual, conversational interview addressing their qualifications, priorities and important issues facing our communities. Candidates seeking the same office will be asked the same core questions to ensure a fair and consistent process.

Our goal is to begin releasing the recorded interviews on Friday, October 16, giving voters time to hear directly from the participating candidates before Election Day.

We will also feature a separate candidate Q&A in our newspapers.

We appreciate the candidates who choose to participate and look forward to sharing these conversations with our readers and communities.

Stay tuned for our 2026 election coverage!
