Gov.
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.
