Reflective sign program

•  Emergency responders can only help you when they find your location.
• Posting your address number provides easy identification of your location for responders who are not always exactly familiar with your area.
• Every second counts during an emergency and posting your address number allows emergency responders to save critical time; especially in reaching rural parts of Alpine County.
• Homes are often hidden from view at the beginning of the driveway or entry point to property.  Posting numbers on your home itself does not help responders recognize where you live since they must first turn into your property to find your home.

Reflective signs are available through the AFSC.  Download the request form by clicking the yellow action button above.  Fill out the form and forward it to the AFSC via one of the options below: 

• Email to khartnet@hotmail.com
• Email to terimcalpin@yahoo.com
• Mail to P.O. Box 67, Markleeville, CA.  96120

Additionally, the materials to make a green reflective sign can also be purchased at a local hardware store if you prefer to make your own or you can order them from a sign company. 

If you live in eastern Alpine County, your address number should be placed on a sign:

• Reflective, white numbers being 3-inches in height
• Numbers displayed on a green background
• A sign posted at least 5 feet high above the grade of the roadway
• Sign may be vertical or horizontal; whichever works best for posting on your property.
• The sign may be mounted to a post OR a mailbox, or other appropriate fixture
• The sign must be plainly visible from either direction of approach to your driveway or property entrance
• The sign must be adjacent to the driveway or property it services
