Emergency response

The State EOC is activated to a Level 3 because State of Utah agencies have been activated in support of flooding incidents in southern Utah.

What we're doing

At this level, an incident has occurred or is likely to occur that requires increased monitoring and support from the state. At this level, the Division of Emergency Management increases coordination with local, tribal, and state partners to support the needs of the incident.
