Have the
911 number posted next to or on all telephones. |
|
Make
sure your house number is displayed so that emergency equipment can find your home. In an
emergency, every second counts. Numbers should be displayed so that they do not blend into
the house. Dark on light or light on dark works well. If you live off the roadway
and/or have no mailbox, place a sign at the end of your driveway displaying your address
information. |
|
Know the
nearest intersecting street to your address. This will help the operator provide
directions to your location in cases of duplicate street names. |
|
Post
a card with your address, family name and telephone number next to the telephone to assist
children and visitors in providing that information in an emergency. |
