Скачать или смотреть Utah's funding for flood mitigation questioned by 2News Investigates

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Utah is in a state of emergency as heavy snowpack and higher temperatures could pose risks for flooding, avalanches, and mudslides.

On Tuesday, Gov. Spencer Cox declared a state of emergency because of ongoing flooding and flood risk as snowpack continues to melt which will remain in effect for at least the next 30 days. That declaration allows the state to access funds reserved for emergencies to better support Utah’s flood response.

This year, the Legislature appropriated $5 million for flooding emergencies and mitigation but those funds have already been depleted. The question is, was enough money earmarked by state lawmakers for flood mitigation to begin with.
