Biographical History
The Illinois Civil Defense Agency was replaced in 1975 by Illinois Emergency Services and Disaster Agency, whose responsibilities were expanded to include fires, floods, earthquakes, and other natural or manmade disasters in addition to nuclear disasters (P.A.79-1084, p. 3320). It further was charged in 1984 with cooperating with Department of Nuclear Safety in planning for means by which to deal with nuclear power plant accidents (P.A.83-1177, p. 588). In 1985 it was instructed to develop an Earthquake Awareness Program whereby preparedness literature would be distributed to schools, local governments, community groups, newspapers, and radio and television stations. Along with the State Geological Survey it was to compile list of strategic manmade structures which were in greatest danger from earthquakes and to assess harm their destruction could cause communities in which they were located (P.A.84-727, p. 4543).
