INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana has created a free mobile app the state says will provide users with county travel status updates and alerts directly to their mobile devices.

The state Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday it collaborated on creating the free app with Indiana's Office of Technology. The app's features allow users to set alerts for any county or counties they choose, and when a travel status in a selected county is changed, users will receive an alert notification.

The app will include weather conditions for each county and contact information for county emergency management agencies.

The Indiana Travel Advisory app is available to download for iPhone in the App Store and Android in the Google Play Store.
