SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Flags at state facilities across the State of Utah have been lowered to half-staff after Governor Spencer Cox issued an order on Wednesday, Aug. 30.

Overdose Awareness Day was officially recognized in Utah through legislature passed in 2021. Sponsored by Rep. Steve Eliason (R-Sandy) and Sen.

Now you can get the same flag that Benny Benson created nearly a century ago. The blue background represents the sky, sea, mountain lakes, and the Forget-Me-Not state flower. Seven gold stars shape the Big Dipper to symbolize strength, and the single gold star in the upper right corner symbolizes the North Star and Alaska as the northern most state in the Union. The state's mineral wealth is shown brightly with the gold color of the stars, and the blue background matches the blue on the United States flag.

“Communities across our state continue to be impacted by overdose-related fatalities, as well as by the struggles of loved ones with substance use disorders and mental health disorders,” Rep. Eliason and Sen. Buxton said in the bill.

The order would see flags lowered by sunrise on Thursday, Aug. 31 and to remain at half-staff until sunset the same day. Cox issued the order in recognition of Overdose Awareness Day.

According to the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, 11 Utahns die each week from drug overdose, seven of which are the result of opioids, including prescription drugs. DHHS reported 178 prescription drug overdose deaths in 2021. The Center for Disease Control reports Utah saw 662 overdose deaths in total that same year.
