SALISBURY, Maryland – The City of Salisbury is actively monitoring the snowfall forecasted to impact our region on Tuesday morning, February 11, 2025. As the storm approaches, we urge all residents to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and the well-being of our community.
The City’s Fire Department, Police Department, Field Operations, and Water Works teams are fully mobilized and prepared to respond to any storm-related incidents. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and take proactive steps to stay safe during this period of inclement weather.
To prepare in advance, residents should stock up on essential supplies, including medications, groceries, and emergency provisions. Those living along designated snow emergency routes should move their vehicles to allow for efficient snow removal operations. Additionally, property owners are reminded to clear snow from sidewalks and around fire hydrants to ensure accessibility for pedestrians and emergency personnel.
For those traveling, winter driving conditions may be hazardous. Motorists are advised to exercise extreme caution, reduce speed, and ensure their vehicles are properly winterized. A full tank of gas, functional windshield wipers, and an emergency kit containing blankets, flashlights, and non-perishable snacks are strongly recommended.
Business and property owners play a crucial role in ensuring pedestrian safety by maintaining clear sidewalks. A four-foot-wide path should be shoveled promptly, and salt or sand should be applied to prevent icy conditions. We also encourage residents to check on neighbors who may need assistance with snow removal.
The City reminds residents to prioritize pet safety by bringing animals indoors whenever possible. For outdoor pets, ensure they have a warm, dry shelter with adequate food and water.
The City of Salisbury will provide ongoing updates through official media channels, including our website and social media platforms.
