Home Addressing Information

If you had an emergency at your house, is your home address clearly marked so we could identify your house and respond in a timely matter?

When someone has a heart attack, or a house is on fire, minutes make a difference! Some questions to ask yourself about your address are:

Is it CLEARLY marked?

• Can house numbers be seen from the road?
• If your home is hidden in the trees, is there some clear address identification visible from the road?
• Are house numbers clearly visible on a mail box?

Can it be read at NIGHT?

• Are house numbers reflective?

Can it be seen from BOTH directions?
