 Governor Gary Herbert  In Utah earthquakes don’t occur on a regular basis. The general public are not informed about proper safety measures in the event of an earthquake.

 The Wasatch Front is along a normal fault line. This means when an earthquake occurs the Wasatch Front could move vertically or horizontally. In this case it will move mostly vertically (“The Wasatch Fault”).  There have been more than 36,000 earthquakes in Utah since1962(“Putting Down Roots In Earthquake County”).  There haven’t been any large earthquakes in Utah for a long time; all of our buildings will be destroyed during an earthquake because our buildings are not made to withstand an earthquake (Schuske).

 Compared to California, Utah hasn’t had earthquakes as large but we need to be prepared for the future. “The two quakes that struck San Francisco on April 18, 1906, are considered the deadliest seismic event in U.S. history, killing approximately 3,000 people” (Richardson). If we do not prepare the same amount or even more people could be injured or die.  “Nepal is one of the most earthquake-prone areas of the world”(Earthquake in Nepal). Even with Nepal being most prone to earthquakes many people still perish, and buildings crumble to the ground.  Soil in the basins of Northern Utah can liquefy during an earthquake. “Liquefaction may occur when water-saturated sandy soils are subjected to earthquake ground shaking. When soil liquefies, it loses strength and behaves as a viscous liquid (like quicksand) rather than as a solid” (Liquefaction Information and County Liquefaction Maps).

 Allocate more funding for programs to inform people about earthquake safety/preparedness in Utah  Amend building codes to make structures stronger and not crumble to the ground during and earthquake
