Despite the warm fall temperatures, Hennepin County is preparing for winter weather and emergencies as part of Winter Hazard Awareness week (November 9 through 13). 

County experts from the emergency management and transportation departments are available to provide information and tips on: 

  • Preparing your home and car for winter emergencies
  • Hennepin County's snow and ice removal program
  • Pre-snowfall street cleaning
  • Driving safe

We also have video available of snow plowing and depending on availability, tours of facilities and demonstrations.
