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.

Neighborhood Disaster Plan

In case of a wide scale emergency, the following is a brief overview of what to do in an emergency-

• Your family is your first priority, assess their needs
• If possible, check on neighbors, assess their needs
• Check in at the neighborhood command post/meeting center (LDS Meeting House located at 11777 S. Willow Wood Dr.) to relay your needs
• Once checked in, those capable will be sent in teams to assess the needs of those who have not checked in
• The command post will be coordinating with local and city authorities to address needs and manage resources

We are told in a wild scale disaster we should plan on being on our own for at least three days before emergency responders will be available.

Emergency Contacts

Place the letters 'ICE' (in case of emergency) in front of the names of your emergency contacts on your cell phone so responders will know who to call.
