From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that members of the District’s Snow Team will host a training exercise to ensure they are prepared for every aspect of the District’s snow and ice operations. The Snow Team is led by the Department of Public Works (DPW), with support from the Department of Transportation (DDOT).
“The winter weather dry run gives us an opportunity to inspect and evaluate all the pieces that go into a successful winter weather response,” said Mayor Bowser. “The dry run is also a good reminder that now is the time for Washingtonians to sign up for the Serve DC Volunteer Snow Team. This year, we’re especially looking for volunteers in Wards 4, 5, 7, and 8 who can deploy to help their neighbors shovel sidewalks and steps after a snowfall.”
The Snow Team–which also includes the Department of General Services, Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, and Serve DC–prepares for wintry weather year-round, with snow-plow operator simulation exercises beginning in the summer. Throughout the day today, plow operator will drive their routes, checking for obstacles they might encounter during an actual snow event. (more…)
