Know Your Civic Address

Emergencies happen when we least expect it, and when they do, every second counts.  In an emergency situation it is easy to forget your civic address. Post your address in plain sight of the telephone or in several locations that are easy to get to.  If you still aren't sure of your civic number and/or address, contact the Township office and ask.      

Many residences have disconnected their land line and only use cell phones.  It is important that residents realize that their civic address will not show on the 9-1-1 dispatch screen when a call is placed from a cellphone.  Therefore, if you only have a cell phone, or if you use a cell phone while at your cottage, it is absolutely imperative that every family member and guest knows the complete civic address so that emergency response can find your location on its mapping.  Please click here to download a copy of the poster that you can post at your place of residence.
