Can your house be found in an emergency?
1. Ensure that your address numbers are clearly visible from the street.
2. Use reflective or illuminated numbers for better visibility at night.
3. Repair or replace old address placards, especially those on mailboxes located far from the front of your residence.
4. Trim any bushes, tree branches, or other vegetation that might obstruct your house numbers.
