Illinois Governor Pat Quinn asked President Barack Obama to declare five Southern Illinois counties major disaster areas to help people and businesses recover from devastating tornadoes and severe storms that struck the area Feb. 29. Counties requested include Gallatin, Randolph, Saline, Union and Williamson.

“We need federal aid in order to help these communities recover, which is why we worked to document the damage and submit this request for federal assistance,” Governor Quinn said. “I ask President Obama to approve this request that will help the people of Southern Illinois recover from this devastating storm.”

Earlier this week, damage assessment teams from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and affected communities documented the extent of damage to homes and businesses. That assessment found that 104 homes were destroyed by severe storms and tornadoes; 50 suffered major damage, and 276 others also were seriously damaged. Lives were lost as a result of this horrific tornado.

PLEASE take a few minutes to review your plans for an emergency and be prepared as a tornado can hit anywhere, anytime and can be a catastrophic event. In an average year, 1,200 tornadoes cause 60-65 fatalities and 1,500 injuries nationwide. Invest in an emergency wether alert radio and increase your odds of safety. You can find inexpesive radios at County Market locations or by visiting weatheryourway.com

Also remember a few simple slogans and pass them along to your family members… “when thunder roars, go indoors” that will help you to avoid theats of being struck by lightning and “turn around, don’t drown” this applies to coming upon flooded roadways, don’t try to drive through it.

Do your family a favor, “MAKE A PLAN”. That means know your risks, have a plan and be prepared
