HOUSE NUMBERS: Is Your Number Clearly Visible From The Street?

Seconds Count in an Emergency

Protect your family and your property by having large visible house numbers.
Firefighters, police officers, and EMS 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 need to be at least 4 inches in height and facing the street
Put the numbers under lighting and use numbers with a contrasting background so they will be visible at night, consider reflective numbers.
If your driveway is long, post your house number on both sides of a mailbox or sign pole at the end of the driveway near the road.
Be sure to keep numbers visible by trimming trees and bushes.

Clear the Way

Be sure there is access to your home by clearing trees and shrubs.
Emergency vehicles are larger than regular vehicles. It is important to keep the roadway/driveway clear. Trim trees and shrubs on the sides and low hanging branches above the driveway so that first responders are able to get to you as quickly as possible.
Keep a clear, accessible walkway to the entrance of your home.
