Lawrence County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is implementing measures to safeguard its personnel, patients, and the broader community while maintaining efficient operations amid adverse weather conditions. As anticipated, winter weather has begun to impact the area, starting early Friday morning. Residents should be aware that icy and hazardous road conditions may lead to delays in EMS response times.
With the potential for roads and walkways to quickly become treacherous and impassable, officials strongly encourage community members to remain indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. While enjoying the snowfall, it is essential to exercise caution to prevent slips and falls, particularly on sidewalks, steps, and porches.
The EMS urges the public to reserve 911 calls for serious, life-threatening emergencies. Non-urgent calls can place additional strain on resources, especially during times of prolonged delays. However, if you or someone else is experiencing a critical medical emergency, do not hesitate to call 911 for immediate assistance.
