The COVID-19 pandemic could never have been fully anticipated in any long-range plan, yet Northwest Indiana is coming together to adapt to these unprecedented circumstances -- just as it has weathered many other storms in its history. Now more than ever is it important for the region to realize one of the key vision components of
NWI 2050:
to be a region that is
united
.
NIRPC, as the regional Council of Governments for Northwest Indiana, has been gathering together key resources with the goal of helping our region get through this together.
Tracking the spread of COVID-19 -- and the areas where our most vulnerable populations are located -- can be key to mobilizing resources quickly. NIRPC’s new
COVID-19 Dashboard for Northwest Indiana
localizes COVID-19 data to Lake, Porter, and LaPorte Counties and is continually updated.
On NIRPC’s new
COVID-19 Resource Page
, some of the most relevant resources to Northwest Indiana for prevention and recovery have been collected onto one page. Grouped according to assistance offered to our region’s
local governments, residents,
and
businesses
, this page also links to some key sites for
tracking COVID-19
so your communities can be prepared...and respond quickly.
In accordance with the Governor’s Executive Order, NIRPC’s physical offices are currently closed, but NIRPC staff is working remotely in a virtual environment, continuing our responsibilities among this crisis and available to assist you in any way that we can. We’re in it with you as we stay united for the future of the region.
