Wonder what makes

a community safe?

The Safety Council of Southwestern Ohio promotes safety awareness and community programs that help reduce risks at home, on the road, and in the workplace. Our mission is to save lives and prevent injuries through education and partnerships.

Have you ever wondered what makes a community safe? While many think of police and fire services, individual choices play a crucial role in reducing risks for injury and illness.

Using local data and collaborating with community partners, we focus on making our community safer for everyone, from children to seniors. Together, we empower families to make better choices and live healthier, longer lives!
