URGENT MESSAGE TO MONROE COUNTY RESIDENTS:
Homeowners and renters in the City of Bloomington, Ellettsville, Stinesville and Monroe County are encouraged to report damage and loss suffered during this week’s heavy storms and subsequent flooding to Monroe County Emergency Management. Residents may complete a report of the damage at www.co.monroe.in.us under the Recent News section or leave their contact information at (812) 349-2997. Business owners may also report damage or loss caused by the recent weather events at the county’s website.
Monroe County Emergency Management is collecting reports of storm-related damage and loss that the State of Indiana will then present for consideration to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Depending on the volume of reports, FEMA will determine whether to allocate emergency funds to reimburse residents for storm-related damage and loss.
Reports may be filed regarding damage to a variety of homes, including apartments, duplexes, trailers, houses built on a slab, and houses with full basements. Although completing the report will not ensure reimbursement for damage, Monroe County will not qualify for federal funds in the absence of a critical number of reports.

Who Are We?
The Monroe County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) is a local subdivision of Indiana state government responsible for leadership in the conservation of Monroe County’s natural resources. The District is governed by a board of five supervisors who are county residents. These citizens are elected by their peers to serve for a three-year term as state elected officials.
The District works closely with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Purdue Cooperative Extension, the City of Bloomington, and other state and federal agencies. In partnership with the NRCS and IDNR, MCSWCD provides technical assistance to farmers, homeowners, businesses, and industry. The District also works with units of local, state, and federal government to address issues of land use, conservation planning, and resource development. See our Sales and Services page for a complete listing of offered services.
Our Mission
Our mission is to identify and prioritize local soil and water resource concerns, provide information on soil, water, and related natural resource conservation, and to connect land users to sources of education and technical and financial assistance to implement conservation practices and technologies.
