Why do I need a Rural Address?
Rural Addressing is needed for 911 purposes. When a call is placed to 911 from your land line phone your location is automatically popped up on a screen in dispatch at the sheriff’s office. They are then able to direct what ever emergency service to your location.
What if I don’t have a land line?
You still need to have a physical address, so it can be given to dispatch and they can search for the address in the system and then direct emergency services to your location.
