With 85% of Utah's population living on top of or directly adjacent to the Wasatch Fault, it makes sense that a lot of us have been taught to prepare for earthquakes since elementary school. Ensuring Utahns know what to do during and directly after an earthquake is paramount to saving lives — especially with a 43 percent chance that the fault will experience a magnitude 6.75 or greater earthquake in the next 50 years.
