Butler County, OH – Motorists across Butler County are being urged to use extreme caution today as worsening winter weather has prompted the Butler County Sheriff’s Office to fully activate its Emergency Response Services (ERS) Team.
According to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office, Sheriff Richard K. Jones ordered the ERS Team’s full implementation as snowfall and icy road conditions continue to deteriorate across the county. The activation is designed to assist stranded motorists and respond quickly to weather-related incidents.
Officials confirmed Butler County remains under a Level 1 Snow Emergency, meaning roadways are hazardous due to ice and snow. Drivers are urged to reduce speeds, increase following distance, and avoid unnecessary travel whenever possible.
In addition to ERS operations, Road Patrol units are actively deployed throughout the county. Deputies are monitoring road conditions, responding to traffic crashes, and assisting drivers who become stuck or disabled due to the weather.
The sheriff’s office stated it remains fully staffed and continues to respond to all calls for service without interruption despite the severe conditions.
“Our deputies and emergency response personnel are out in these conditions right now,” Sheriff Jones said. “We are committed to making sure motorists who become stranded are not left without help and that public safety services continue despite the weather.”
Residents are also encouraged to check on elderly neighbors, keep emergency supplies in their vehicles, and stay informed through weather and roadway updates as conditions continue to change.
For emergencies, residents should dial 911. For non-emergency assistance, the Butler County Sheriff’s Office can be reached at 513-785-1300. Officials said additional updates will be provided as conditions evolve.
