2023 Floods
The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is now at Level 4 – Monitoring, as we move from a response to a recovery phase due to the decreased risk of snowmelt flooding across the state.
The Division of Emergency Management (DEM), is grateful for the mild spring weather which reduced the amount of flooding experienced from the record snowpack. We also recognize the immense and effective efforts of everyone involved with flood preparedness, mitigation, and response activities. We encourage people to stay prepared because “Anywhere it rains, it can flood.”
Governor Spencer Cox declared April as Flood Safety Awareness Month to increase awareness of flood risk and to encourage everyone to take action towards mitigating and preparing for flooding. Read the full declaration:

New Statewide WebEOC Environment Available to Emergency Managers in Utah
The Utah Division of Emergency Management (DEM) is excited to announce the launch of our new WebEOC environment! In 2021, DEM partnered with Salt Lake County Emergency Management and the Salt Lake County Health Department to acquire WebEOC Enterprise as well as the EMSuite and Juvare Exchange.
We have worked hard over the past year with a broad group of stakeholders from across the emergency management spectrum in the state to ensure that this new implementation will meet the needs of as many users as possible. This partnership allows all jurisdictions in the state of Utah to be housed in the same critical incident information management system. This will simplify gathering and sharing information and requesting resources from one jurisdiction to another.
Launching the new WebEOC environment represents the next phase of the project. There is still more work to be done and we will continue to build and refine the system as more users come onboard.
Please use this link to access the new WebEOC environment for sharing situational awareness and requesting resources for real world incidents: https://utah1.webeocasp.com/utah1/default.aspx
Please go to this page to register for a user account if you don’t already have one. You can learn more details about the project by visiting the project website.
For WebEOC support, please contact Jake Ownsbey: jownsbey@utah.gov
