How to Make the Denver Difference and be a Denver Snow Angel!
- Get to know your neighbors - keep a list of phone numbers on hand for emergencies.
- Check on elderly and/or disabled neighbors during major snow storms to be sure they do not need help.
- Always clear your sidewalk of snow as soon as possible - it is difficult for pedestrians to walk down sidewalks full of snow and ice but it is nearly impossible for wheelchairs.
- Go the extra step to make sure the sidewalk on your block is clear of snow so it can be accessible to all.
- Check out the resources available in your neighborhood - churches and other community groups often have volunteers available to help those in need.
- Visit the Denver Office of Emergency Management to get more information on how neighborhoods can prepare for emergencies in Denver.
The Neighborhood Resource Center of Colorado (NRC-Colorado) works with residents, associations, local governments and community-based organizations to increase group or individual capacity to build stronger communities, particularly at the block level. NRC offers ideas, strategies, written materials, and grants that educate and encourage neighbors to build a stronger sense of community.
