"Utah and Minnesota Governors Declare State of Emergency for Flooding"

Utah is in a state of emergency as record levels of snow have started to melt, causing flooding and raising fears of natural disasters such as avalanches, landslides, mudslides, and rockslides. The melting could continue for months, and the state has already deployed over 1 million sandbags to prepare for the flooding. Utah will tap into funds from its disaster recovery account and be able to request additional funding from federal and other states' agencies.
