Gov. DeWine Declares State of Emergency for some Miami Valley Counties Following Flooding
State agencies will help cleanup and recovery after flooding stranded dozens of people and damaged roads, bridges and driveways, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Governor Mike DeWine declared a state of emergency in 19 Ohio counties, including Vinton County, following severe flooding from heavy rains. The proclamation directs state agencies to assist local cleanup efforts.
- Severe weather swept through the region overnight from Sunday to Monday, causing widespread flooding that submerged roads and forced the closure of the Vinton County Courthouse in McArthur. Intermittent thunderstorms and rainfall triggered the damage.
- Vinton County Sheriff Ryan Cain evacuated 60 residents as floodwaters moved rapidly through the area; the Little Miami River reached 11 feet, forcing road closures and damaging local properties including the Renovate Life Church.
- The Ohio Emergency Management Agency and the Ohio Department of Transportation are actively working with local authorities to manage cleanup efforts. Officials continue providing equipment, supplies, and personnel to help communities recover.
- No total damage estimate is available because officials must wait for floodwaters to subside before assessing impacts to roadways, culverts, and structures. Assessments are underway, and residents are encouraged to seek assistance.
