| April is National 911 Education Month Thursday, April 01, 2010 |
Could we find you in an emergency? Is your street address number displayed on your home or business property, If not, post your assigned physical street address number right away. Your address number should be posted and clearly visible from the street so that emergency responders can easily find you in case of an emergency. Contrary to what you may have heard, 911 cannot always locate you immediately when calling from a cell phone. Know the location you are calling from, teach address information to children, and always know what street you are on when traveling. Knowing your location can save a life, possibly YOURS! |

If your property is near a creek or river, note that some flooding will occur with heavy rains. If you encounter a street with standing water, do not attempt to drive through. The saying is: turn around, don't drown. |
