• Utah Natural Hazards Handbook
• Earthquake Emergency Handbook for First Responders and Incident Commanders (2016)
• This handbook has been created for rural communities with limited resources and is intended to guide response within the first 48 to 72 hours after an earthquake – before State and Federal assistance is available. The February 21, 2008 M6.0 Wells, Nevada earthquake provided the impetus for the development of the handbook. The number one “lesson learned” stated in the emergency response section of the Wells earthquake disaster review was the need to develop an earthquake emergency handbook for Incident Commanders in similar situations. The handbook is available as a pocket-sized document for use in the field or as a pdf: Earthquake Emergency HandbookTo order multiple copies of the pocket-sized handbook (free):
