Boone County Prepares for Severe Weather

The Boone County Sheriff's Office is closely monitoring forecasts indicating the potential for severe weather to impact Boone County and surrounding areas.

Residents are encouraged to remain weather-aware throughout the day and evening by monitoring reliable weather sources and following updates from local officials. Depending on conditions, hazards may include strong winds, heavy rainfall, dangerous lightning, hail, localized flooding, and the potential for tornadoes. Forecasts can change quickly, and everyone should have a plan in place before severe weather arrives.

The Sheriff's Office encourages the public to:
• Have multiple ways to receive weather warnings, especially overnight.
• Identify the safest location in your home or workplace, preferably an interior room on the lowest floor away from windows.
• Charge cell phones and essential electronic devices.
• Secure outdoor furniture and other loose items that could become airborne in high winds.
• Avoid unnecessary travel during periods of severe weather.

Community shelters are available for those who may need a safe place during severe weather. The following locations are open and available for public use:
Boone County Courthouse - 201 Courthouse Sq, Lebanon, IN - Now until 11:59 PM
Zionsville Town Hall – 1100 W Oak St, Zionsville, IN
Thorntown Town Hall – 101 W Main St, Thorntown, IN
Advance Fire Department – 106 E Wall St, Advance, IN
Whitestown Fire Station 272 – 6800 S Indianapolis Rd, Whitestown, IN - 4:00 PM to 11:59 PM

Emergency personnel will continue to monitor conditions and respond as needed. The Boone County Sheriff's Office asks residents to stay informed and use caution. For emergencies, call 911. For the latest weather information, monitor trusted local media and the National Weather Service as conditions evolve.

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is driving overdose deaths across the country. Just one pill can be deadly—and it’s often found in counterfeit or unexpected substances.

Awareness can save lives.

What you can do:
✔️ Know the risks—fentanyl may be in pills, powders, or other drugs
✔️ Never take medication that isn’t prescribed to you
✔️ Carry naloxone—it can reverse an overdose
✔️ Talk openly with friends and loved ones

💬 If you see signs of an overdose, call 911 immediately.

Together, we can reduce stigma, spread awareness, and save lives.
