COVID-19 Is your community ready?

We are fortunate Utah has not yet seen a community spread of the Coronavirus. But with the high level of transmission worldwide, we need to do our very best to prepare. The best way to fight an enemy is to be ready for it. So, does that mean it’s appropriate to declare a state of emergency in your city or town? Today in our #CitiesWork podcast we address that question with Ron Gordon, general counsel to Gov. Gary Herbert, Joe Dougherty, PIO for the Utah Division of Emergency Management, and Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall, who declared a state of emergency for the city earlier this week.
