Lawrence County EMS is Taking Safety Precautions During Winter Storm

Lawrence County EMS is taking proactive steps to protect the crews, patients, and community while ensuring smooth operations during inclement weather. Winter weather, as predicted, has begun to affect the region beginning early this Friday morning. The public should be aware that icy or dangerous road conditions may cause EMS response times to be delayed. Roads and walkways may rapidly become dangerous and impassable; therefore, residents are urged to STAY HOME AND STAY INSIDE. Please use caution when enjoying the snow, as we urge everyone to do. To prevent slips and falls, exercise additional caution on sidewalks, steps, and porches! We highly advise the public to save 911 EMS calls for serious, life-threatening situations. Resources required for emergencies will be strained by prolonged delays for non-emergent calls. Do not hesitate to dial 911 in the event of a serious medical emergency.
