SALT LAKE CITY — Starting at 7:09 am on Wednesday, Mar. 19, a 5.7 magnitude earthquake and multiple aftershocks shook the Salt Lake City area. The building housing the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah State Office has been inspected and was deemed to be structurally sound. The Utah State Office will remain closed until assessments, cleanup, and repairs are complete. The safety of our employees and the public is our top priority. The BLM leases space in a private building.

Additionally, United States Geological Survey has guidance and a campaign that provides earthquake safety information. Learn more here: https://on.doi.gov/3deQ1BY and https://bit.ly/393d0MI.
