Gasconade County E-911 is the addressing authority for Gasconade County. We assign all addresses in Gasconade County EXCEPT for the City of Hermann who assigns their own.
Location
- In rural areas or where your house is not visible from the street, post your address where your driveway meets
the road- on a post, fence, wall or on both sides of the mailbox. - Make sure there are no trees or bushes blocking the address.
Visibility
- House numbers should always be at least 3-4 inches high.
- Numbers should be made of a color that sharply contracts to the background they are posted on.
- Reflective materials are recommended.
- Always keep snow, leaves, etc. cleared away from house numbers and keep them in good repair.
Additional Factors
- Always remove old names and numbers from your mailbox to avoid confusion.
- Keep your address and complete driving directions next to each telephone for easy reference, especially for visitors, children or elderly persons who may need to call 911.
- Posting your address correctly will help prevent a delayed response by emergency vehicles and responders. It could save the lives of you and your family.
- Remember- Emergency Responders rely on you to make your house or business address easy to read when they are traveling down the road at a high rate of speed.
