Morning Headline Roundup: Friday, July 10, 2015

Good morning! Here are a few of the stories on our radar today.

1.  Hoosiers can report flooding damages—that happened on or after June 7—online.

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security says homeowners, renters, businesses and private non-profit organizations can report uninsured structural damage to homes and loss of personal property.

The application is an assessment of damage to determine if federal assistance can be pursued.

2. Indiana officials voted Thursday to relax the bird ban on flea markets and shows, but only for non-poultry birds.

The Associated Press reports that parrots, canaries and other non-poultry birds can now be shown and sold throughout the state.

Indiana's Board of Animal Health issued an indefinite ban on co-mingling bird flocks in May after a case of avian flu was spotted in the state amid a national outbreak that's killed 48 million birds.

3. A 16 mm film of Amelia Earhart has been donated to Purdue University Libraries.

The film shows the famous pilot with her Lockheed Electra posing for pictures in Burbank, California. It also shows close-up shots of Earhart's plane before she departed on her final flight.

Purdue says it will preserve the film and make it "accessible" to students and researchers.

Earhart was a Purdue career counselor and adviser to the Department of Aeronautics from 1935 to 1937.
