Due to worsening winter weather and increasingly hazardous road conditions, Montgomery County has been placed under a Level 3 Snow Emergency following coordination and discussions with county officials and local jurisdictions.

This decision is made to reduce risk to both the public and first responders during extremely dangerous conditions. Under a Level 3 Snow Emergency, travel is prohibited unless absolutely necessary, and violations may result in a citation or arrest. Residents are strongly urged to remain off the roadways until conditions improve.

Please reserve 911 for emergencies only, specifically situations involving immediate danger to life or serious injury. Keeping emergency lines open ensures responders can assist those in critical need without delay. Road crews and public safety officials are continuously monitoring conditions across the county and will provide updates as soon as any changes to the snow emergency level are made.

We appreciate the community’s patience, cooperation, and understanding as safety remains the top priority during this severe winter weather event. Residents are encouraged to check back for updates by visiting our page, our website at www.mcohiosheriff.org, or by calling the Snow Emergency Line at 937-496-SNOW(7669) for the most current information.
