Answered for Brownsburg, Hendricks County.
Present in Indiana and the reason for the pruning rule below. It's the single best argument against 'we'll just tidy the oak up in June'. In Brownsburg, no published species-level street tree inventory exists for Brownsburg, so exact species counts are UNVERIFIED; what is documented is that the town replants under an approved street-tree list in Town Code Sec. 96.20, so the street canopy skews young and town-selected rather than volunteer-grown. The one region-wide certainty is that ash is effectively gone from the mix after emerald ash borer moved through Indiana. A red oak showing symptoms is usually lost within a season.

Rapid wilting from the top down in summer, leaves dropping while still half green, often one side of the canopy first.
A red oak showing symptoms is usually lost within a season. The urgent job is protecting the oaks around it, because it moves underground through grafted roots.
Never prune an oak here between April and July — that's when the beetles carrying it are active and a fresh cut is an open invitation. Dormant-season pruning only.
