Be Ready Utah Campaign
The Utah Department of Public Safety is making a focused effort to make all Utah residents more aware of a state-wide program, known as Be Ready Utah, intended to prepare residents for any disaster that may affect them.
Be Ready Utah, a state-wide campaign launched in 2006 under the direction of Governor John M. Huntsman, Jr., is an emergency preparedness initiative for individuals, families, neighborhoods and communities, including schools and businesses, throughout Utah communities.
The message of the campain is that preparedness leads to prosperity. In order to accomplish this preparedness, every community is encouraged to provide resources to its citizens to ensure the community is prepared.
"State agencies are working diligently to prepare for disasters and so should our communities,” said Robert Flowers, former Utah Commissioner of Public Safety. “The better prepared our citizens, businesses and schools are before a disaster, the better chance we all have of recovering.”
Communities throughout the state are encouraged to be informed, have a plan, have emergency kits available, and have trained volunteers ready to act when needed. Organizations in each community that are involved in the Be Ready Utah campaign include schools, faith based organizations, agencies, associations, businesses and government agencies working together to take care of their communities.
“The most reliable plan for success is for each of us to take personal responsibility and be prepared,” said Lt. Governer Gary R.Herbert. “Governor Huntsman and I encourage the citizens of Utah to be informed, have a plan, assemble an emergency kit, and volunteer.”
The Be Ready Utah campaign is a partnership between the Governor’s Office, the Utah Department of Public Safety, the Utah Emergency Management Association, the Utah Commission on Volunteers, and the Utah State Office of Education.
