Posting your 9-1-1 Address
While Enhanced 9-1-1 provides for telephone number and corresponding location information, delays may happen if responders can’t locate you. Here are some guidelines for posting your address:
- Remove any old numbers from your structure and mailbox.
- If your number is not visible from the road or if you mailbox is not next to your driveway, place a post with your locatable address at your driveway entrance.
- Post your number on your residence if it is visible from the road. If you post your number on your mailbox, post it on both sides.
Things to Remember:
- Posted numbers should be high enough so that snow does not cover them.
- Mailboxes should be marked with the house number if the box is in the front of and on the same side of the street as the house.
- Reflective materials improve visibility.
