During an emergency it’s important that responding emergency personnel quickly identify your house. Finding your home, especially at night, is quite challenging if your address numbers are hidden, unreadable, unlit or missing entirely. This results in delaying emergency responders from getting to your emergency quickly.
Check your house and help your elderly neighbors
Are your house numbers visible from the street? Are they set on a background of contrasting color? If your house is hidden from the street, are your numbers attached to a post, visible fence, mailbox or gate? Do your elderly neighbors need help identifying their homes? Your help might save their lives.
