Many geologists predict the near future will bring a major earthquake (M7.0) along the
Wasatch Fault, which cuts through Utah County. Many
school buildings in this county were built before
seismic building codes were introduced, which puts
schoolchildren at risk many hours each day.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
• April 17, 2013• Annual
statewide earthquake drill
• Over 800,000 registered participants
• Study conducted by USSC (Utah Seismic Safety Commission) found that 60% of statewide schools are potentially at risk
