Disaster Resilience (Pt. 4)

Tune in for the final installment in our series on disaster resilience in Utah! In this episode, we’re looking at the most common natural hazards in our state—wildfires, flooding, and drought. We look at how Utah’s geography and climate put us at naturally high risk for each hazard, and how they compound one another. We also talk with the experts about how our changing climate, specifically warming average temperatures, will impact these natural hazards. 

Special thanks to our expert guests who joined us in this episode: Seth Arens, Research Scientist with Western Water Assessment, Jason Curry, Deputy Director for the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands, and Angelia Crowther, Utah State Flood Plain Manager with the Utah Department of Emergency Management and the National Flood Insurance Program Manager.
