Why UF?

Underground Focus tells stories of damage prevention, using two distinct formats. Our 9 issues, published annually, are divided into 5 Knowledge Issues and 4 News Issues. What’s the difference? Well, our Knowledge Issues tell stories of damage prevention using pictures to drive the story. The stories found in the Knowledge Issues are realized by the UF staff, by utilizing real-world experience on a daily basis. But in the end, it all begins with one great photo. In 2009, we structured the News Issues to enable our partners to tell their story, however they want to. A complimentary, full-page, color ad is included in all 9 issues for everyone who commits to a one-year partnership.

This portion of our website was created so you can explore our process. Who knows, maybe you have a story you’d like to share with the world!
