Want a Quick Response?
Did you know that many long emergency response times can be attributed to the emergency response crews being unable to see house numbers?
In an emergency, would they be able to find your house easily?
Here are some tips to make it easier for emergency response crews to spot your house numbers:
- Post your house numbers near your front entrance
- Make sure the numbers are at least 4 inches high
- Use contrasting colors for the house numbers and the background
- If your house is more than 100 feet from the road, display your house numbers near the driveway entrance and on the house itself
- Use reflective materials or illuminate the numbers so they can easily be seen at night.
- The same rules apply to businesses except the letter height should be increased to 6 inches.
