[May 05, 2008]  SPRINGFIELD (AP) -- Illinois has created a panel dedicated to preparing for earthquakes.

InsuranceGov. Rod Blagojevich on Sunday announced the formation of the Illinois Seismic Safety Task Force. It will assess preparedness in high-risk sections of the state.

Illinois was rattled last month by a magnitude 5.2 earthquake and a series of aftershocks centered in the state's far southeastern corner. The quakes caused minor damage.
