Total eclipses draw large crowds, and the Ohio EMA advised counties to expect the population to double the day of the eclipse.
Smith said he will be discussing planning soon with the county police chiefs association. He already has talked with the county Visitors and Convention Bureau, which is working with the county Park District on planning a possible event, Smith said.
During a total solar eclipse, the moon blocks the sun’s face and briefly reveals the shimmering corona.
The last total solar eclipse that crossed the continental U.S., coast to coast, was Aug. 21, 2017.
