Logan County, OH – As temperatures continue to fall across Ohio, the Logan County Sheriff’s Office is reminding residents to prepare for winter travel hazards during Ohio’s Winter Safety Awareness Week.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, motorists should carry essential emergency supplies in their vehicles as snow and ice become more frequent in the coming weeks. Recommended items include an ice scraper, jumper cables, flashlight, cell phone with charger, blanket, and snacks or bottled water.
Sheriff Randall J. Dodds emphasized the importance of being prepared for sudden weather changes or unexpected delays on rural roads, noting that a small kit can make a big difference in an emergency.
Drivers are also encouraged to check tire pressure, keep gas tanks at least half full, and allow extra travel time when conditions deteriorate. The Sheriff’s Office says these steps can help reduce accidents and ensure safety for both drivers and emergency responders throughout the winter season.
Ohio’s Winter Safety Awareness Week serves as an annual reminder for residents to winterize their vehicles, homes, and emergency plans before severe weather sets in.
