[PHONE REDACTED] Emergency Preparedness Message: Flooding Even though we live in the second driest state, flooding is the leading cause of property dollar loss in Weber County. The work the city has done on the Ogden River has reduced the effects of flooding within the city immensely, but our run-off started in February instead of around April. We have been monitoring this closely and are preparing just in case the future weather doesn’t cooperate with our snowpack. So be aware of flood hazards no matter where you live, but especially if you live in a low-lying area, near streams, gullies, culverts, or canals and drainages. For more information on what to do before, during, or after a flood, vist: emergencymanagement.ogdencity.com or ready.gov/floods Let’s go golfing! Mt. Ogden and El Monte golf courses are open and ready for the season! Both courses offer a variety of challenges, programs, and prices designed to meet the expectations of citizens and visitors alike.
