How can you prepare for snow?

• Make sure you have adequate snow shovels or a working snow blower.
• Buy salt or sand.
• Figure out where you can park when a snow emergency is called.
• Make sure you know who in your neighborhood might need help with shoveling, errands or other winter work and offer to help.
• And, as always, watch for information when it snows. Our snow removal information is continually updated or follow us Twitter at SpokaneCity.
