The Illinois Department of Insurance says one-on-one counseling
services will be available starting Tuesday morning in the Tazewell
County city. Washington was among the hardest hit communities in the
state. One person died and as many as 500 homes were damaged or
destroyed. Overall the storms killed six people statewide.
State insurance officials say they'll help tornado victims with
insurance claims and how to document storm damage. Counselors will
advise on whether residents should make temporary repairs, what
their homeowner policies cover and what to expect during the claims
process.
