Abstract

The Utah Legislature, in the 2022 General Session, appropriated funding to study the feasibility of implementing an Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system in Utah. Funding was provided to the three primary agencies in the Utah Earthquake Program—the Utah Division of Emergency Management (UDEM), the Utah Geological Survey (UGS), and the University of Utah Seismograph Stations (UUSS). The study consisted of four main activities: (1) reviewing the history and development of EEW systems within the U.S. and around the world; (2) assessing the potential performance of an EEW system in Utah; (3) determining what enhancements to the existing Utah seismic network would be needed to implement an EEW system; and (4) conducting an online survey of Utah stakeholders to assess their knowledge of and potential interest in an EEW system.
