BE READY, WHENEVER, WHEREVER

In the wake of recent attacks of violence in several countries, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) reminds Hoosiers to be “Ready: Whenever. Wherever.” Violent acts and dangerous events can occur anywhere, anytime — often with little to no warning.

The “Ready: Whenever. Wherever.” webpage on GetPrepared.in.gov has been updated with new resources, including links and fact sheets on travel safety, home protection, large event safety and workplace violence.

The “Ready: Whenever. Wherever.” approach asks Hoosiers to pause and consider potential safety risks in their surroundings and to identify possible actions they could take to increase their personal safety in the event of an emergency.

Yesterday, the governor issued an overlapping directive, in accordance with a presidential proclamation, that flags be flown at half-staff in honor of the victims of the terrorist attacks yesterday in Brussels, Belgium.
