Shelby County has issued a Local Disaster Emergency Declaration and moved to a TRAVEL WARNING (RED) due to hazardous winter weather and dangerous road conditions.

A Travel Warning is the highest level of travel advisory in Indiana and means travel may be restricted to emergency personnel only.

What this means for residents

Residents are strongly urged to refrain from all travel unless it is absolutely necessary. Roads may be unsafe or impassable due to snow, ice, drifting, and low visibility.

Who may still travel

This declaration does not prohibit emergency management workers or individuals performing essential services, including those needed to restore utilities or provide emergency public service.

What residents should do

  • Stay home if possible

  • Avoid unnecessary trips

  • Use extreme caution if travel is unavoidable

  • Continue monitoring updates as conditions change
