EMA Urges Residents to Ensure Address Visibility for Emergency Response

The Garrard County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) has issued an important reminder to all residents, emphasizing the crucial role that clearly visible address numbers play in emergency situations. When every second counts, the ability of emergency services to quickly locate and reach individuals in need can mean the difference between life and death.

To ensure that emergency crews can find you without delay, the EMA advises that the numbers on your mailbox be both clear and reflective, making them easily visible both day and night. This simple measure can greatly assist first responders in locating homes swiftly during critical situations.

In support of this initiative, the Garrard County EMA is offering 911 reflective address signs to all county residents. The cost for each sign is $25.00, which includes installation. These signs are designed to enhance visibility and ensure that your address is easily identifiable by emergency personnel.

Residents interested in purchasing an address sign can place their order online through the Garrard County payment portal at this link. The process is straightforward, requiring only the address for which the sign is being ordered. Payment can also be made directly through the site.

For those who prefer not to pay online, orders can be placed by calling the EMA office at 859-792-7121 or by sending a direct message through the agency's Facebook page.

The Garrard County EMA strongly encourages residents to take advantage of this program to help ensure that emergency services can reach them quickly when it matters most.
