Utah Library Association 2016 Conference

Utah is vulnerable to man-made threats and natural disasters. Since 1983, Utah has received eight presidential disaster declarations. The unexpected happened in 2005 when our state had three declarations in one year. Be Ready Utah is the State of Utah's official emergency preparedness program and provides valuable information for individuals and families, communities, public safety professionals, business and civic leaders, school administrators and volunteers. Learn about how to put together an emergency plan and emergency supply kit. Learn about Utah’s natural hazards and how to get to know the local emergency manager in your community. Learn about opportunities to get involved and volunteer your expertise and talents. Learn about how the time and effort we invest in preparing now will help navigate through and recover quickly from what may come our way at the most unexpected moment.
