911 House Numbering Project

911 House Numbering Project

In an emergency situation can emergency medical services or law enforcement quickly find your home? If not, please consider purchasing a sign/post which displays your home address in four-inch reflective numbers. Today, as a result of new enhanced 911 telephone features, a dispatcher can identify the specific street address and caller from a 911 call even if no one is able to provide that information. Unfortunately, valuable minutes may be lost in response time by police, fire and ambulance, because of difficulty finding improperly or non-existent numbering at the victim’s residence.

The Town of Bradley is partnering with the Penobscot County Triad in arranging to have as many homes numbered as possible. Triad is a volunteer non-profit senior organization whose primary mission is the safety of seniors. The signs, which meet the 911 standards, are being manufactured at low cost by inmates at the Penobscot County Jail. You may choose to purchase just the reflective numbers (on a strong aluminum backer) to be applied in a highly visible location at the end of the driveway; or choose to additionally purchase the steel stake, which is ready for installation.

What better gift can we give our parents or ourselves than this critical life saving home identification? If due to a disability or other reason, you will experience difficulty in installing the sign, please make the Town Office aware. A firefighter or public safety official will be glad to assist you.
