Hamilton County, IN – Drivers across Hamilton County are being urged to use extreme caution today as a Travel Advisory remains in effect through 10 a.m. Thursday due to deteriorating road conditions and additional snowfall expected overnight.
According to Hamilton County Emergency Management, snowfall throughout the day has created slick and potentially deceptive road surfaces, prompting the advisory to ensure public safety as temperatures drop and conditions worsen.
Officials said the advisory means motorists should avoid travel if possible. Those who must be on the road are urged to take precautions, including reducing speed, allowing extra space between vehicles, and braking gently to prevent skidding. Emergency Management also recommends drivers keep an emergency kit in their vehicle, including blankets, flashlights, snacks, and other supplies in case of delays or roadside incidents.
The county is also advising residents to stay updated on changing weather conditions and road information before heading out Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Even light snowfall could compound hazardous conditions during the morning commute.
More updates will be provided if conditions worsen or if the advisory level changes.
Residents are asked to share official alerts to help keep local roadways safe.
