Frequently Asked Questions

I have my address on my house, mailbox, and the numbers painted on the curb, why do I need an emergency 911 sign?

If your numbers are not reflective, your current signs may not be visible at night or during bad weather. Painted curb signs often fade or are blocked from view.

Can you give me an example of how these signs can save lives?

Yes! According to the American Heart Association, a delay of 5 minutes in receiving CPR in the case cardiac arrest reduces the survival rate to only 11 in 100 cases.

Are the signs difficult to install?

No! Each sign comes with 4 pre-drilled holes and can be installed in just minutes. In most cases, the sign attaches directly to your mailbox.

Are the signs difficult to maintain?

No! Emergency 911 signs are durable and fade resistant. They will last for years.
