    City of Salisbury to Declare Weather Related State of Emergency

    February 21, 2026

    The City of Salisbury has declared a State of Emergency beginning at 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 22, 2026, in preparation for the expected winter weather.

     

    This declaration will remain in effect until lifted by the City or pending further decisions made by the State of Maryland.

     

    City services will remain operational as officials closely monitor storm conditions.

     

    Snow Removal and Snow Emergency Route information can be found on the City website.

     

    As the storm progresses, the Field Operations team will work diligently to clear City roads. Residents are encouraged to stay home if possible and keep snow emergency routes clear for plowing. If you live on a designated snow emergency route, please move your vehicle off the street by 2:00 p.m. Sunday to allow for snow removal. Residential streets will be plowed if snow accumulations exceed four inches. We will not be in residential districts until major routes are clear.

     

    Property owners adjacent to City streets must clear sidewalks within 24 hours after snowfall ends, creating a path at least four feet wide for pedestrian safety. Residents near fire hydrants should clear at least a three-foot-wide space around the hydrant for emergency access.

     

    Do not push or throw snow into the streets, as this makes road clearing more difficult and hazardous.

     

    For more information on City snow removal and continued updates on the storm, visit us at https://salisbury.md/ or on social media on Facebook or Instagram.
