Environmental Emergencies or Spills
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has an emergency response program that responds to incidents involving spills to soil or water.
To report an environmental emergency, call IDEM’s 24-Hour Emergency Spill Line toll free at 888-233-7745 or 317-233-7745.
Emergency Assistance
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) has a team of emergency response personnel (hazmat specialists) who serve as on-site technical advisors at large fires and hazardous materials incidents. They respond to a wide range of emergencies, carrying a variety of technical instruments and equipment, and work alongside local and state agencies during incidents.
IDHS also has radiation programs to ensure the health and safety of Hoosiers and the environment from radioactive materials.
Local, state or federal emergency response agencies that need emergency assistance from IDHS may call the State of Indiana Emergency Operations Center Watch Desk at 317-232-3830.
