About the Office of Disaster Recovery
The Office of Disaster Recovery (ODR) was established by Governor Daniels to lead recovery efforts following a series of storms that struck portions of Indiana in late May and early June 2008.
ODR works to assist individuals, communities and local governments in the recovery action following a disaster event. ODR's efforts focus primarily on long-term recovery plans and policies for:
- Obtaining the maximum amount of federal funds for recovery and rebuilding efforts by individuals, businesses, state agencies, and local units of government
- Exercising the necessary operational authority in recovery effort decisions on behalf of the state
- Providing technical assistance, education and outreach to local governments and private organizations working on recovery efforts at the community level
- Developing a final report to the governor on the response and recovery efforts including recommendations for the future based on lessons learned during disaster events
Please contact the Office of Disaster Recovery with questions or comments by emailing odr@gov.in.gov or calling 317-234-4302.
