When the shaking starts, remember these three steps: DROP to your hands and knees COVER your head and neck, and crawl under a table or desk if possible HOLD ON to the cover until the shaking stops Practice this regularly with your family and coworkers. When an earthquake hits, you won't have time to think, so make sure you’re prepared!

Take 30 minutes this weekend to do a Home Hazard Hunt and prevent damage during the next earthquake: ✓ Secure water heater to wall studs with metal strapping ✓ Anchor heavy furniture (bookcases, TVs, dressers) ✓ Move heavy items to lower shelves ✓ Secure mirrors and picture frames ✓ Install latches on cabinets The water heater is especially important - if it tips over during shaking, it can rupture your gas line and cause a fire. Strapping kits are available at most hardware stores. Small actions now prevent big problems later.

This massive quake was felt across 50,000 square miles, from St. George to Salt Lake City. 😱 The powerful shock waves caused widespread destruction across Central Utah: chimneys, walls, and roofs collapsed 🏠, surface ruptures up to 300 feet long split the ground 🪨, and extensive rockslides blocked canyons and roads 🛤️. This disaster spotlight is a timely reminder that earthquake preparedness isn't optional in Utah, it's essential. Make sure you and your family are ready: Drop, Cover, and Hold On.

This is just one of many areas in Utah where flood risks can sneak up fast and leave homeowners with a mountain of repair costs. As spring temperatures rise, so does the risk. Peak runoff in Utah typically arrives in late May and early June, and emergency officials say now is the time to take action before it’s too late.Thu, 01 May 2025 00:00:00 +0100https://www.abc4.com/news/wasatch-front/utah-flood-risk-insurance/https://web.archive.org/web/20250610071638/https://www.cdc.gov/ncird/whats-new/guidance-help-prevent-spread-flu-agricultural-fairs.htmlAn outbreak of H5N1 bird flu among poultry and dairy cows continues to spread in the United States.
