Trump Signs Major Disaster Declaration for Utah Wildfire and Flood Damage
President Trump on October 7 signed a major disaster declaration for Utah covering this summer's Cottonwood Fire and flooding and mudslides from July 13-24, the governor's office and FEMA announced on October 8.
Beaver and Piute counties are eligible for FEMA public assistance. A joint federal-state damage assessment put losses at at least $47 million. The July 19 flash flooding shut down Interstate 15 for nearly 12 hours and damaged Beaver City's municipal power and water systems.
Gov. Spencer Cox welcomed the declaration, saying it unlocks federal resources for rebuilding public infrastructure. Federal Coordinating Officer James R. Stephenson was appointed to oversee the recovery effort.
The declaration covers public facilities and infrastructure; officials said assessments of individual assistance needs were ongoing.
