Recovery Support Opens as Waters Recede
Fishers, IN · August 25, 2026
Morning fog is lifting across town today as neighborhood recovery efforts move into high gear following recent heavy rainfall.
The Lead
With floodwaters receding along the White River and local waterways, county and municipal agencies are transitioning from emergency rescues to sustained community recovery. Indiana 211 and the Hamilton County Health Department have opened temporary housing streams and cleanup assistance for affected households, while disaster response teams arrive this week to help clear damaged homes at no charge to residents. At the same time, regional infrastructure planners are tackling long-term fixes after floodwaters severely damaged the Hazel Dell Parkway bridge over Blue Woods Creek. County officials announced a complete replacement project estimated at nearly $10 million, with design work now underway to reroute the enlarged stream channel before construction bids open later this fall. Residents needing home remediation or temporary shelter can register directly with county disaster services as work continues.
