Provo City Community Preparedness

Pay attention to watches and warnings. A Winter Weather Advisory is issued for snow, freezing rain, freezing drizzle and sleet that will cause significant inconveniences but is not serious enough to issue a warning. A Winter Storm Watch is issued up to 48 hours before the possibility of a blizzard, snow, freezing rain or sleet that could be more severe and dangerous. Where you live determines the conditions needed to warrant a Winter Storm Watch. A Winter Storm Warning is issued when the potential for hazardous winter weather like heavy snow, freezing rain or sleet is expected soon or may already be happening. Remember, your local National Weather Service office forecasters monitor the weather around the clock in your area and will issue Warnings, Watches or Advisories based on local criteria. Sign up for your community’s warning system. The Emergency Alert System and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio also provide emergency alerts. You can also download the FEMA App to receive alerts for up to five different areas.

Good afternoon,

This is a final reminder that the State Hazard Mitigation Plan Open House is next Thursday, November 9th at the

This is a family friendly event; there will be coloring pages provided for kids, and refreshments. We have a flyer and social media post attached, could you please do one last push on social media to help gain some awareness of this event? Again, your help is greatly appreciated, and we hope to have the public show up!
