FLAGSTAFF — As winter embraces Flagstaff, the City is introducing its new Snow Hero Program to increase safety and accessibility to our neighborhoods. The program assists Flagstaff community members in need of help clearing their sidewalks of snow and ice by matching them with a Snow Hero Participant. The City is looking for community members to serve as Snow Heroes this winter.
The Snow Hero Program is a community-driven effort to support sidewalk snow and ice clearing throughout Flagstaff. As a Snow Hero, you will be matched with a nearby neighbor who has registered for assistance. Your role will be to clear snow and ice from the sidewalk(s) adjacent to their property within 48 hours following a snow event.
The City’s goal is to create a network of dedicated Snow Heroes to assist residents in need to foster a community where sidewalk safety and accessibility are a shared responsibility. Join the City in making this winter a season of solidarity, support, and service.
To apply, complete the Online Snow Hero Sign-Up form. The program coordinator will contact you once you are matched with a neighbor. By signing up, you agree to assist your neighbor with snow and ice removal after each snow event.
Let’s make this winter a safer and more connected season for everyone!
Requests for assistance from a Snow Hero have reached capacity for this winter season. To have your name added to the request waitlist, please contact Steven Thompson.
