Winter Hazard Awareness Week

It is Winter Hazard Awareness Week in Minnesota. To ensure a safe and enjoyable winter, it's critical to be aware of potential risks and hazards associated with weather. Risks include residential fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, frostbite and hypothermia. Learn more from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

Snow Emergencies: What You Need to Know

The City informs residents of snow removal plans with Snow Emergency declarations in advance of winter weather. When 2 or more inches of snow are forecast, the City declares a Snow Emergency. Once accumulation reaches 2 inches, a Snow Emergency is in effect. During a Snow Emergency, do not park on City Streets until noon the next day so streets maintenance crews can work to maintain safe and passable roadways.

Snow Emergency declarations are posted at edenprairie.org/News and on social media platforms, and sent to email/text subscribers. Visit edenprairie.org/Subscribe to sign up for email/text notifications. More information is available at edenprairie.org/Snow.
