The New York State Insurance Department said it has set up a Mobile Command Center to help the public with insurance issues in the wake of Saturday's massive crane collapse that killed seven people.

According to the department, 18 buildings and more than 250 dwelling units were affected when the 22-story crane sliced across a block on Manhattan's Eastside.

The department said consumers affected by the accident can get onsite assistance from department personnel deployed at the site who can help with the filing of claims for damages caused by the incident.
