Is Your Address Visible from the Street? by Tanja Tanner, Goodyear Community Education Coordinator
What?! You don’t have a house number posted on the outside of
your house? If you don’t, then the emergency crews may have a
difficult time finding your address. Unfortunately, emergencies can,
and do happen. When precious seconds can mean the difference
between life and death, you want to be sure you’ve done everything
you can to put the odds in your favor. It’s a fact that fire doubles

in size every minute. Also, every minute that passes without CPR
and/or defibrillation during a cardiac event, the chances of survival
decrease by 10%. This means that finding your address promptly is
extremely important during these types of emergencies. Statistics
show that even a few seconds saved not “searching” for a house
number can significantly improve the outcome during a medical or
fire emergency. In order to be easily visible from the street, house
numbers should be at a minimum of 4-inches high and half-inch wide
and shown in a contrasting color. Please help us find you!
