As we take a moment to stand in solidarity with all members of organized labor today, I also wanted to share this daily storm update with information on the Mobile Registration Intake Center in Lake Station happening this week.

I am pleased to share that the FEMA and Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) will open a Mobile Registration Intake Center in Lake Station tomorrow - Tuesday, September 8 and Wednesday, September 9 to help residents connect with resources and support following the August storm.

If you or someone you know could benefit from these resources, please stop by and speak with the representatives who will be there to help.
