e-911 street sign law
In case of an emergency, can we find your location? Is your street number visible for Emergency Responders to locate?
Dutchess County E-911 Sign Law
​
ARE YOU IN COMPLIANCE?
​
When Seconds Count, Don't Delay Our Response To Your Home! Dutchess County has determined it is in the best interest of the citizens of the County to have a uniform sign for E-911 purposes so that all structures can be easily identified by emergency vehicles.
(Local Law 8 of 1999 and Local Law 8 of 2000)
Section 2 - The Numbering of Houses and Structures: A. "The property owner of record has the responsibility to affix the E-911 number as described in section 2(B) and (C) ... Local Law 8 of 2000.
Size and Location of Road Address Numbers: Road address numbers for residences shall not be less than 3" in height. In addition, the material should also be reflective. A mailbox at the end of the walk or driveway with numbers on both sides of it can be used in lieu of the rigid post. ( Local Law 8 of 1999).
The New Hackensack Fire Company has now made available to the public these uniform signs for only $15.00 to comply with this law and to ensure that emergency vehicles, whether Police, Fire, or Ambulance, can get to your home in the event of an emergency without delay.
In addition, residents of the New Hackensack Fire District also have the option of having the fire department install these valuable signs for them free of charge.
Don't wait another minute, order your E-911 sign today below.

RED Lights and YOUR Responsibility when they approach
RED and WHITE LIGHTS, and Sirens are used by FIRE TRUCKS, FIRE CHIEFS, AMBULANCES, MEDICS and POLICE VEHICLES. Some Police Vehicles also have Blue Lights on them in addition to Red Lights. When these vehicles approach you with flashing lights and sirens sounding, you must pull over and stop immediately and safely, and let them pass. That is the LAW. The VEHICLE and TRAFFIC LAW states that you have to yield the RIGHT OF WAY to All Emergency Vehicles when their Red Lights are flashing and sirens are sounding.
