Gov. Jon Huntsman says an earthquake near Wells, Nev., that was felt on the Wasatch Front, is a "wake-up call" for Utah preparedness.

"How prepared are we?" Huntsman said at his monthly KUED press conference. The Capitol has recently been revamped to ride out seismic tremors, he said. "But what about our schools?"

The governor said that the state health department and public safety units in the Wendover area are standing by to offer assistance to Nevada authorities.
