It's simple: make a plan to keep sidewalks near your home or business clear of ice and snow. Now is the time to find that snow shovel and buy de-icer.
If a winter storm hits, we will work to keep routes to hospitals, schools, and other essential community destinations open.

You don't need THIS MUCH de-icing material to keep sidewalks clear. NOW is the time to get de-icer & a snow shovel to prepare for ice and snow we might have.
