Get alerted about emergencies and other important community news by signing up for our Emergency Alert Program. This system enables us to provide you with critical information quickly in a variety of situations, such as severe weather, unexpected road closures, missing persons and evacuations of buildings or neighborhoods.

Having an address visible from the road is vital when we are responding to emergencies. Every precious second counts! Help us find your location faster by using a 911 Reflective Address sign. Is your address large and easy to read at all times from the street or road fronting your property?

• Address numbers and letters should be a minimum of 4 inches in height with a stroke width of 0.5 inches.

• Address numbers and letters should be contrasting with their background.

• At night, well-lit or reflective address numbers help with visibility.

• Address signs posted at the street need to be visible when traveling from either direction.

• In some cases it may be necessary to post multiple address signs due to the length of the access road.

Help us help you when you need it the most! During an emergency, properly marked addresses can make the difference in a life and death situation

Here are a few suppliers that sell low cost address signs to attach to your mail box post or other post/pole by the road.

PulsePoint is a 911-connected mobile app that allows users to view and receive live alerts of calls being responded to by fire departments and emergency medical services. The app aims to have bystanders trained in CPR help cardiac arrest victims before emergency crews arrive, which can increase their chance of survival. The app interfaces with the local government public safety answering point, and notifies users only if the victim is in a public place and only to users that are in the immediate vicinity of the emergency. 

Watch Duty is a volunteer-contributed mobile app and web platform that provides real-time wildfire information and alerts to the public. It utilizes a combination of official data sources and human monitoring by experienced volunteers, including active and retired firefighters, dispatchers, and first responders. The service is operated by Sherwood Forestry Service, a 501 non-profit organization.
