Live in Stoddard County? Can 911 Find You if an Emergency Exists?

Dexter, Missouri - Can emergency responders find you if you were at home?  If you live out in the county it can mean life or death if responders have trouble finding your home because you do not have it well marked with your address.  Help is here at Stoddard County 911.

Brandi Anthony started working for 911 this year as their Sign Technician.  She is very skilled with the vinyl cutter and can help you with displaying your address numbers.

Stoddard County 911 Services is the addressing authority for Stoddard County. Some of the cities have chosen to assign their own addresses, and they assist cities as well. City addresses are usually 3 digit and county addresses range from 4-5 digits. If you need an address or you have a question, please contact them and they will be glad to help you.

There is a county ordinance 67.318 RSMo that requires citizens to display their address numbers using 4” Reflective Arabic Numbers and a contrasting color to the surface. If the residence can’t be seen from the road a stake or sign should be placed by the driveway.

It is essential to have your address numbers posted by your driveway for expedient emergency response.  Carol Moreland and Brandi Anthony will be more than happy to assist you with this endeavor, including installation.  That's right, those young ladies will even come out and install the sign for you!
