BENTON – Tuesday’s storms forced Franklin County government officials to move groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Emergency Operations and Communications Center at the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office in Benton indoors.
It’s been nearly two years since the federal mandate making the 988 suicide prevention and mental health crises hotline accessible nationwide took effect July 16, 2022.
The Cincinnati Emergency Communications Center and Talbert House say they’re working well together when calls to 911 and 988 overlap. Talbert House operates the 988 crisis hotline in Cincinnati and Hamilton County. (It also serves as a back-up location for other call centers across Ohio.)
Marion County residents have a sense of assurance that if they need to call 911 for help during an emergency, fire, law enforcement and medical personnel are ready to quickly respond. Their calls for help will route to one of the county’s two 911 call centers; one falls under the authority of the county commission and the other – the mayor of Ocala.

telecommunicator. While they are both luckily okay, their home is a total loss.
