Emergency Response
UServeUtah is the state's lead agency for volunteers and donations before, during, and after disasters. UServeUtah leads the Volunteer and Donations Coordination Team (VDCT) within the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). This team is made up of a variety of emergency management professionals from both government and nonprofit organizations.
DO NOT SELF DEPLOY. Wait until officials give the all-clear and volunteer coordination centers are established before going out to help.
Be Prepared:
One helpful way to aid in emergency response is to be prepared for disasters before they strike. Act now to ensure that you, your family, and your community are prepared. Visit Be Ready Utah to access resources for families, schools, businesses, and communities.
