Cox: Utah Is Prepared For Further Flooding

(Salt Lake City, UT) — Governor Cox says Utah is prepared for more flooding over the next couple of months. At a press conference yesterday afternoon, Cox told reporters that more than one-point-four million sandbags have already been delivered to flood aid efforts throughout the state. He said 200 people showed up at 9 p.m. Wednesday to fill sandbags and save homes in Emigration Canyon. Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said the city needs more volunteers on Saturday to replenish sandbag reserves after many were used to mitigate the Sugar House flooding. Sandbags will be filled at Sugar House and Rosewood parks at 9 a.m. Saturday.
