Severe Storms in Illinois
Responding to severe weather in Central and Southern Illinois
[WASHINGTON, D.C.] - U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) released the following statement after a severe storm system produced tornados, hail, damaging winds and flash flooding throughout Illinois:
“My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by today’s severe storms. I am receiving regular updates from Illinois emergency officials and local leaders including those from Washington, Illinois – one of the areas that was hardest hit today. While we don’t yet know the full extent of the damage, it is clear that coordinated local, state and federal resources will be needed to rebuild. I stand ready to work with my colleagues in that effort.”
Those affected by the storm should visit IEMA’s website here for information on open shelters and other disaster recovery resources. Anyone wishing to help with the storm damage should visit IEMA’s website here to find information on volunteer opportunities.
