Total Storm Management
Winter storms significantly impact Indiana costing millions of dollars every year in removal efforts, increased transportations costs, lost productivity, increased travel time, fuel consumption and accidents. The purpose of this manual is to provide a resource that provides answers and options in the effort to keep Indiana Highways open and safe during the winter season.
This manual covers a wide range of topics: administration and management issues, personnel issues, equipment, snow and ice control materials, weather information systems, storm operations, and miscellaneous issues such as training aids and reports.
The manual is a product of the Winter Operations Team (WOT). This team consists of employees from each of the Indiana Department Of Transportation (INDOT) Districts, Central Office, Division of Research, and Purdue University. A list of members is found in the preface. This team was formed to study and research various issues, and develop procedures and guidelines.
