Hooper City
Emergency Preparedness
Hooper City Emergency Preparedness meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6:30 - 8:00 PM at the Civic Center. For more information about meetings, email hoopercityemergency@gmail.com.
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) classes are being offered by Weber County. Please reach out to Monica Harding, Hooper City CERT Coordinator at 801-721-7974 for more information about CERT.
On January 16, 2024, a group of volunteers began developing a plan to help the residents of Hooper and the City prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate natural and human-caused disasters.
This has been—and continues to be—an intimidating endeavor. We have made a great deal of progress, but we also recognize that there is still much more to do.
Individual and family preparedness is the most critical and fundamental element of a community's overall preparedness. Getting prepared can feel daunting, but by approaching it one step at a time—even accomplishing just one thing each week—a great deal can be achieved over the course of a year.
Each month, we meet and dedicate half of our meeting to a specific preparedness topic. Topics include creating a family emergency plan, building a 72-hour kit, emergency shelter, short- and long-term food storage, and other important preparedness topics.
We welcome anyone who would like to participate, learn more about emergency preparedness, and help strengthen our community.
A great resource for individual and family preparedness is Utah's Be Ready Utah Family Preparedness website: https://beready.utah.gov/family-preparedness/
