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.

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.”
