Hoosiers now have access to a free mobile app that provides county travel status updates and alerts.
In addition to weather, the app will also include notifications with regard to flooding, hazardous materials spills and other events that could affect travel.
The app is meant to be used as part of a system to stay aware of changing travel conditions.
John Erickson with the Indiana Deptartment of Homeland Security, says the app provides county travel status updates and alerts.
"If you travel through a certain cluster of counties for work, for home, you can just concentrate on those counties," says Erickson. "You can also get alerts across the state."
Last winter, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security County Travel Status Map was the most visited page on IN.gov, generating nearly 5 million unique visitors between December 1, 2013, and March 31, 2014.
