IMPORTANCE OF HOUSE NUMBERS VISIBILTY FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES

Is your House Number Clearly Visible from the Street? 

Seconds count in an Emergency!

·         Protect your family and your property by having large, visible house numbers.

·         Firefighters, Law Enforcement, Code Enforcement and Medical Responders will find you faster when your home is properly marked.

·         A visitor, child or injured person may be unable to give clear directions.

·         Emergency personnel from a neighboring community may be unfamiliar with your area.

Use Large Visible Numbers!

·         Numbers are required to face the street.

·         Put the numbers under lighting, and use numbers with contrasting background so they will be visible at night.

·         Post your house number on both sides of your mailbox or sign pole at the end of the driveway or near the road.

·         Be sure to keep your numbers visible by trimming trees and bushes.
