F. Severe Winter Storms. Because of the infrequent occurrence of such storms, Harrisburg <br />is not completely equipped to handle the demands on its public works caused by such events. <br />Highway and state road clearance is done by the NC Department of Transportation. The priority <br />is to clear the main highways and those areas needed for public safety. The Town of Harrisburg <br />will clear streets within its town limits. <br />Table 2: Winter Storm Mitigation Strategies <br />Strategies <br />Responsible <br />Support <br />Priority <br />Schedule <br />Project <br />Parties <br />Parties <br />Cost/Funding <br />Sources <br />1.
