Utah Flood Resources: Prepare, Respond, and Recover

Utah's record snowfall in 2023 brings heightened flood risks this spring. Secure your home and stay prepared with our comprehensive Utah Flood Resources guide.

Floods, often triggered by heavy rains, thunderstorms, or rapid snowmelt, are among the most common and widespread natural disasters in Utah, second only to fires. Many areas across Utah face the risk of flooding, which can vary in speed and intensity. The impact of floods can be significant, potentially leading to loss of life and extensive property damage. After a flood, it's crucial to focus on clean-up and sanitation efforts in order to restore homes, businesses, and farms to their former state. Stay informed and prepared with our Utah Flood Resources guide.
