"This allows friends and family from other areas to determine they are safe and well," said Red Cross officials in a press release.

Family and friends can also log on to check on the status of their loved ones.

The Salt Lake County Emergency Operations Center was activated because of the Wells quake.

Unified Fire Authority Capt. Jay Fearnley called it a "very low level" activation, which included planning, information gathering and coordinating with officials in Nevada.

"We're in touch with Wells, Nevada, to find out what kind of damage, to determine if they need any resources from us," he said.
