TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Why public works needs a plan to manage snow and ice operations JO - APWA reporter A1 - Flaherty, G. SP - 36 EP - 37 VL - 68 IS - 2 N2 - The management responsibility of a snow-ice program for a governmental agency is a very difficult task. Without a plan that is comprehensive and results oriented, public safety and commerce can be severely compromised. Managing a snow-ice program is a year-round responsibility and its planning and management involve 4 basic ingredients: preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. This article provides a good overview of policy recommendations, best practices, and goals/strategies designed to improve the snow-ice operations efforts of any public transport department or entity responsible for such winter maintenance.
