State leaders urged Utahns to take advantage of the break with hot temperatures to prepare for more flooding.
"We’ve got a lot of water up in those mountains that’s going to come down. We have to prepare," Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson said at a news conference on Friday in Provo.
The risk for flooding is across all of Utah. Some communities, including Salt Lake City, Kaysville and Ogden have already started to experience some flooding. But others are being warned to prepare for it based on the record-breaking snow still in the mountains. State leaders urged people to check if they live in a flood zone, get flood insurance and get sandbags if they're at risk.
"It’s not unprecedented. We’ve had a lot of flooding in the past and we’re prepared for it, hopefully," she told FOX 13 News on Friday. Cities and counties across Utah were asking for volunteers to help fill sandbags before flooding picks up again. Mayor Kaufusi set a goal for Provo to have 100,000 sandbags ready by May 1. She said that is partly to help surrounding communities that may not have the same resources as her community.
