Flood Hazard Awareness, Preparedness, and Mitigation
With this year’s significant amount of snowfall, the Division of Emergency Management (DEM), along with many of you, are concerned about the potential for flooding. It’s impossible to know if it will flood, and if so, where or when. That depends on the weather. What we do know is that now is the time to know your risk, prepare for the hazard, and mitigate potential damage. DEM has many resources to help you do that.
Know Your Risk
DEM’s Flood team, with the National Flood Insurance Program and RiskMAP can help you learn how to identify your flood risk and buy flood insurance. Do you live in a known flood zone? Is your home located beneath a burn scar caused by wildfires from up to five years ago? Where it snows and rains, it can flood.
Prepare for Flooding
One of the best ways to reduce or eliminate fear and anxiety is through action. Take action by following Be Ready Utah’s steps to prepare for flooding. Now is the time to prepare.
Mitigation
You can help mitigate flood damage. Contact your local public works or emergency management departments about helping clear rivers, streams, and culverts or filling sandbags.
Get the Flood Facts
Finally, you can get more Flood Facts on the DEM website. Plus we have a comprehensive booklet titled Flooding – What You Should Know, full of the information about the potential flood hazard. If you still have questions, contact your local officials to learn about flood response plans, notification procedures, and ways you can help.

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
