Understanding Snow Emergency Levels in Ohio
Ohio’s snow emergency system consists of three distinct levels:
Level 1
This is the lowest designation. It indicates that roads may be hazardous due to blowing and drifting snow. Drivers should exercise caution during travel.
Level 2
A Level 2 emergency is more serious. It is issued when road hazards make travel only advisable when absolutely necessary. Individuals should consult their employers about work attendance during this status.
Level 3
The most severe level is Level 3. It is declared when roads are deemed treacherous, closing them to non-emergency personnel. Driving is prohibited unless absolutely essential, and violators may face legal consequences.
Travel Safety Recommendations
During snow emergencies, it is crucial to avoid traveling on unplowed or unsalted roads. Fewer drivers on the road enhance safety for both travelers and emergency personnel. Stay informed about ongoing weather advisories and follow local guidelines for safe travel during winter conditions.
