Climate resilience context

Merrillville uses the Indiana state resilience seed. The scenarios linked to this city page are flooding, freezes and winter cold snaps, tornadoes, and straight-line wind storms; they are state-level hazards, not city incident claims.

flooding
Indiana flooding often follows repeated thunderstorms, river crests, saturated farm drainage, and sump systems that lose power.
freezes and winter cold snaps
Indiana cold snaps can freeze crawlspace plumbing, stress older furnaces, and turn minor roof leaks into ice-dam damage.
tornadoes
Indiana tornadoes often ride fast-moving Midwest lines, so homeowners need shelter plans that work even when warning time is short.
straight-line wind storms
Indiana straight-line wind can arrive with fast storm lines, damaging garage doors, roof edges, fences, trees, and overhead utility service.
