This new address could make the difference between the minutes it takes to find your home or business and these few minutes could make the difference between a life and death situation.
To clarify some confusion, those living in rural areas need to change your mailing address.
If you have your mail is delivered to the Post Office and use a Post Office box number and your daily mail is delivered to a Post Office.. you do not have to change your address to those that mail you letters. Everyone in the Rural Community must have a,“ locator address” at the road or on your structure.
If you have a post office box you will still use that as your address for mailing purposes, the country road identification is for emergency use, to find you when you need emergency assistance.
Your County Road Address must be posted on your structure in 3 to 4 inch high reflective numbers. If your structure is more than 100 feet from the main road or not visible from the main road, post the address at the entrance of the driveway. The deadline to make this change will be September 3oth 2014.
Official Custom Created Address Signs are available from Bates County Industries in Butler. They are taking orders if you do not want to make your own, that number is 660-679-3667.
Each address sign will cost $25.00.Each sign is weather resistant, reflective, 3 inch lettering and available in blue or green.
Your cooperation in using the physical address assigned to you when calling 9-1-1 will ensure efficient emergency service. This will avoid delays in emergency vehicle response time. Your 9-1-1 physical or rural residences will also assist in deliver by UPS or FED-EX.
Bottom line.. If you have a Rural Route address you need to make changes . Rural Route addresses will be obsolete after September of 2014.
If your mail is delivered to a Post Office Address , you do not need to change your mailing address but you do need to install a 9-1-1 locator sign on your home or in your yard to assist 9-1-1 emergency vehicles.
