Census 2010- Be Counted!

American Fork residents are being urged by Mayor James H. Hadfield to stand up and be counted in the 2010 U.S. Census so the community can get its fair share of federal funds.

“The Census offers a critical snapshot of American Fork City, said Mayor James H. Hadfield. “The Census is used to allocate billions of dollars in federal funding, impacting everything from schools and hospitals to our roads.”

In 2000, 78 percent of American Fork residents returned their Census forms. The 2000 Census response rate was acceptable, but it definitely could be improved. An undercount in the Census may not seem important to some, but it is very important because the data gathered very much factors into how much federal funding is allocated to states and cities.

Mayor Hadfield would like to challenge all American Fork residents to return their Census forms to increase participation from 2000 and be the City with the highest participation rate in the State of Utah. In 2000, 87 percent participation in the Census was the highest city participation rate. “I certainly would encourage everbody to be counted in the census and let’s strive to beat an 87 percent participation,” said Mayor Hadfield.

Governor Herbert Declares Flood Safety Week Mar. 15-19
Plan, Prepare and Be Aware

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert has declared Mar. 15 - 19, 2010, as Flood Safety Awareness Week in Utah in conjunction with National Flood Safety Awareness Week.
Floods can arrive without a moment’s notice or with a slow creep. Regardless of how a flood starts, they can have enough force to roll boulders the size of cars, destroy buildings and bridges, and take human lives. The Flood Safety Awareness campaign’s purpose is to educate the citizens of Utah on hazards associated with floods and flash floods, as well as what can be done to save lives and protect property. The National Weather Service has partnered with the Utah Department of Public Safety’s Division of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency Region VIII, and the American RedCross to provide information via a Flood Safety Awareness and Preparedness website.
