Daily Update on Federal Disaster Response in Northwest Indiana

Today, I was honored to join the volunteers and members of the Lake Ridge Fire Department in Calumet Township to thank them for their tireless efforts supporting residents impacted by the recent severe storms.

I am grateful to them and to all of our local community partners who continue to step up, lend a helping hand, and make sure our neighbors have access to the assistance and resources they need.

I will continue working closely with our local, state, and federal partners to ensure Northwest Indiana residents have access to the resources they need as our communities continue the recovery process.

As always, if you need assistance or have questions about available federal resources, please contact my Merrillville District Office at 219-795-1844 or visit mrvan.house.gov.
