Are you ready for flooding? These tips can help you get ready wherever you are in Utah, so you can be prepared when the water starts to rise.
“We can’t tell exactly where or when it will flood,” said Wade Mathews, public information officer for the Utah Division of Emergency Management. “We don’t know until it’s starting to happen. So people need to be prepared.”
Most flooding policies also take 30 days to kick in, so take action now to be covered when it counts. Designate a specific person to contact for updates, and establish a safe location to meet up with family members.The Department of Public Safety says it’s a good idea to have enough food, water and medicine on hand to last at least three days in case of an emergency.
