VISIBLE ADDRESS

Help Us Find You When Seconds Count

In an emergency, firefighters, paramedics, and law enforcement need to find your home quickly. A clearly visible address can help emergency responders locate you without unnecessary delay.

MAKE IT EASY TO SEE

Address numbers should be large, easy to read, and clearly visible from the road. Avoid decorative numbers or colors that blend into the background.

MAKE IT VISIBLE AT NIGHT

Emergency calls happen day and night. Use reflective numbers or adequate lighting so your address can be easily seen after dark and during poor weather conditions.

CHECK IT FROM THE ROAD

Stand near the roadway and look toward your home. Make sure your address can be seen from both directions and isn't missing numerics, blocked by trees, shrubs, decorations, or parked vehicles.

LONG OR SHARED DRIVEWAYS

If your home sits back from the road, place visible address numbers at the driveway entrance. Clearly mark additional turns or multiple homes along a shared driveway when needed.

CHECK YOUR ADDRESS TODAY

Take a few minutes to check your address from the road during the day and at night. A simple improvement today could help emergency responders find you faster when every second matters.
