What could "The Big One" actually look like? |
|
We're due for a big earthquake—the Wasatch Front has a 43 percent chance of experiencing a 6.75 or greater magnitude earthquake in the next fifty years. Experts project that such an event would be among the deadliest disasters in U.S. History.
Many of us have heard this statistic before, but do we really understand what it means? Envision Utah recently asked experts to help us paint a picture of what our state might look like after "The Big One". Click the link below to check out the projections and learn how we can be better prepared.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into everything you should know about on-road mobile sources and the cars that we drive. We'll talk about the classifications of vehicles on the road today, smog ratings, Tier 3 Fuel, upstream emissions, and the number one way you can help clean the air.
Special thanks to Caleb Grow, Jon Miller, General Manager of Mark Miller Toyota, and Glade Sowards, Environmental Scientist for the Division of Air Quality, for being our guest speakers on the topic.
