A county public-health or recovery official briefed commissioners on outreach to municipalities regarding reimbursement for the March 30'to'October 9 disaster events and reported on the county health fair.
The official said municipal governments had been informed about their ability to seek reimbursement through FEMA and Homeland Security; two towns (Lyons and Newberry) reported they had no incidents to submit. The official said confirmations were pending from Jasonville and Worthington and that several utilities and local entities had scheduled appointments for damage assessment, noting that the highway department had been visited.
On the health fair, the official reported a steady turnout and that 255 children attended the event. "Before we were number 10 in the state of Indiana amongst all the counties compliant for vaccines, we are number 6 now in the county," the official said, reporting an improvement in the county's vaccine compliance ranking.
Commissioners thanked the staff member for the work and had no further questions; no formal action was taken at the meeting on either the recovery or public-health reports.
