Introduction
Flood Preparedness Manual
|
The Engineering Division has developed a manual "Homeowners Guide for Emergency Flood Control," for use in preparing for flooding events. The Manual can be viewed online or downloaded for use. It presents some simple actions homeowners can take to prepare for and reduce the impact of flooding to homes and businesses.
The Salt Lake Basin has in recent years been subject to several devastating floods resulting in substantial property damage. During floods, the prime responsibility of your Engineering Division is the control of flood waters in the major rivers and channels throughout the Basin. Therefore, assistance to individual property owners from our experienced flood control personnel is not always immediately possible.
These pages cover typical installations of sandbags, timber and plywood to protect buildings and grounds.
