Be Prepared!

What can happen if a 7.0 magnitude earthquake strikes the Wasatch Fault?

This video, produced for the Great Utah ShakeOut, happening April 17, 2012, tells you what can happen and how to prepare your home or business for a major quake.

After you watch, head over to http://shakeout.org/utah and register your family, school, business, community or faith-based or other group to participate. All your preparedness information, as always, lives at the new and improved http://bereadyutah.gov.

YOUR family emergency plan

As of right now I do not have a plan for my family.  If there were a disaster to happen tomorrow and we were not together when it happened, I would want to know where I could go to meet up with my family.  I'm ready to start a plan, I want to BE READY!  Do you?

You may not be able to fill out this form today, but gather some information, talk with your family and make a plan!  You will need to gather information on each family member (info of where they work or go to school), also make a set plan of meeting places:  in the neighborhood, outside the neighborhood and out of town, collect phone numbers such as police, fire, hospital and so forth.

After you are able to completely fill out the form you can print out your plan and also save it to your computer and email it to family and friends.
