Today, as part of our nation’s 250th anniversary, items were unveiled that represent Utah in America’s Time Capsule, to be opened in 2276. Included from Utah are Olympic pins from the 2002 Winter Games and the upcoming 2034 Games, pieces of the cornerstones of the Utah Capitol and Salt Lake Temple. These items reflect chapters of our history that tell the story of where we came from and where we are going.

Today is the 24th anniversary of the 1999 Salt Lake City tornado. This F2 tornado created a damage path eight miles long across Salt Lake City causing about $261 million (in 2022) dollars of damage. Though rare, helped by the terrain, tornadoes do occasionally happen here. #utwx

Why is it important to educate parents about the harmful effect social media is having on our kids? ➡️ 32% of Utah youth reported feeling sad or hopeless for two weeks or more in a row during the past year (Sharp data, 2021). ➡️ 18% of Utah youth seriously considered taking their own life in the past year (Sharp data, 2021). ➡️ 1 in 3 U.S. high school students and half of female students had persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, an overall increase of 40% from 2009. (CDC, 2019). ➡️ Rates of major depression doubled for youth from 2010 to 2020 (CDC, 2019). We know social media isn’t the only cause of these alarming trends, but there’s no question that it has played a role. So, what are we doing about it? ➡️ We’ve pulled together experts to share the latest research with the public. ➡️ We’re working with legislators to pass and sign the toughest social media regulation in the country. ➡️ Our administration worked with the Attorney General to take legal action against TikTok. ➡️ We’re unveiling a new public education campaign to help parents and young people better understand the harms of social media and how parents can engage with their kids.

#Prepare for wildfire: Don’t use anything (i.e. lawn mowers) that may create sparks outside on dry, windy days. Remove rocks and metal that can spark a fire before you mow. For more info on wildfire safety, see this video from @Readygov: ow.ly/fFQJ30pyLjO
