Kaysville residents are invited to participate in the Bad Moon Rising Community Challenge on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM. The event is part of a countywide effort by Davis County Emergency Management to test preparedness skills across 15 Davis County cities.
The challenge is designed to help residents prepare for natural disasters such as windstorms, earthquakes, and other emergencies. During the exercise, participants will have the opportunity to practice reporting damage in their neighborhoods using a new online damage assessment tool provided by Davis County.
The city with the highest participation rate in the challenge will earn the title of Best Prepared City 2026. Officials noted that timely and accurate damage reports during real disasters help local emergency responders assess community needs, coordinate recovery efforts, and document damage for potential FEMA assistance.
Participation is intended to help residents become familiar with important emergency reporting tools so they know how to act when a real disaster occurs. To participate, residents can sign up for the challenge at https://tinyurl.com/4v9xwbjd.
On Thursday, November 12, participants should watch for a text message containing a link to the online damage assessment tool. Between 7:00 and 8:00 PM, participants can participate by submitting a brief simulated damage report and a photo from their neighborhood using the tool.
