The Village of Ashmore has declared a State of Emergency following tornado and storm damage to the community just last night.
The announcement says major repair work cannot begin until state officials arrive to conduct a damage assessment, a necessary step before the process of rebuilding can fully move forward. In the meantime, residents whose properties sustained damage are asked to contact the Village Office at 217-349-8332 to report it. Getting an accurate picture of the damage across the town is an important part of the assessment process, so officials are encouraging anyone affected to make that call.
The village is asking residents for patience as this process plays out. It is a time-consuming one, but they say they are working to move things forward as quickly and as safely as possible.
If you are in Ashmore, please stay safe and continue to monitor for updates from the city itself. Again, report any damage to your home or property immediately by calling 217-349-8332.
