Gauging Disaster Risk

"Utah residents will soon be able to gauge their risk for flood, earthquake, wildfires and landslides by inputting their address in a website created by the Division of Emergency Management and Pier Systems, due to launch within the next few weeks.  For preparation, the best thing you can do is plan for yourself, no matter where you live. Utahns need to take responsibility for themselves and their families by having at least a 72-hour kit of emergency supplies."
