HOUSE NUMBERS
911 - CAN YOUR LOCATION BE EASILY
IDENTIFIED?
Police officers, firefighters, EMS, and other emergency personnel, who respond to 911
calls, say visible house numbers to identify homes can mean the difference between life and
death. Help protect your family members and property by making sure the address on
your home is clearly visible from the street. For example, consider putting reflective
numbers on your house. Or, if you have a rural route address, update it with the County
and post reflective address numbers on a roadside post. The 911 system has saved lives
and has cut emergency response times. For more information, please contact your local
fire station, police station, or County 911 offices.
