Governor J.B. Pritzker has expanded his storm-related disaster proclamation to 13 additional counties. Four are in east-central Illinois, including Vermilion.  Added to the help list are: DeWitt, Douglas, Moultrie and Vermilion counties.  Coles and Edgar counties were covered in the original disaster proclamation.

The expanded declaration means those 21 counties will have greater access to state resources and emergency personnel to assist with recovery efforts related to the damaging storms that swept through the state June 29 through July 2.
