Emergency Management

South Salt Lake Emergency Management strives to protect our community and residents by mitigating against, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from any form of natural or man-made disaster.

Emergencies occur when we least expect. Are you prepared for threats such as severe weather conditions that can cause prolonged power outages or a large-scale natural disaster like an earthquake?

Hazard Mitigation Plan

In 2025, South Salt Lake completed an updated Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan details natural and manufactured disasters that could potentially effect South Salt Lake, and outlines techniques that the City will take to mitigate their effects on our residents. These disasters include earthquake, severe winter weather, high wind events, and drought. 

This plan was prepared in conjunction with Salt Lake County, and published in the Salt Lake County Emergency Mitigation Plan.
