1 EMERGENCY SERVICES NEED YOUR HELP PEOPLE SAVING LIVES AND PROTECTING YOUR COMMUNITY We live among heroes - ordinary people that perform extraordinary feats. Firemen, EMTs, Policemen, they all fit in as ordinary people, but many are heroes. Often, the "hero" was just an average person in the right place at the right time. An off-duty firefighter comes upon a house on fire and pulls everyone in the home out or a nurse is out to dinner when she witnesses a traffic accident and administers life saving first aid. "The right place at the right time". In an emergency the "right time" is as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we have a big problem in our communities. Emergency responders can't find the address they are responding to because addresses are improperly marked. Houses and/or mailboxes have small numbers, faded numbers, missing numbers, or worse no numbers at all. If emergency services can't find you, they can't help you. Our goal is to eliminate this problem with your organization's help. You can raise money for your organization while making a difference in your community. Candy, popcorn, wrapping paper, candles, scratch cards - Those sales can wait. Our reflective address signs may help emergency responders save a life and that life may be yours or someone you love. Act now. This is a fundraiser that makes a difference! REFLECTIVE ADDRESS SIGNS Reflective address signs are highly visible both day and night, they are made of high quality.063 aluminum, come in various sizes and colors, and will last for many years. At a cost of $8-$10 per sign, most organizations sell for $15- $20, yielding a profit of $7-$13 per sign for your organization. A very nice profit, but most importantly, You are improving the safety of your community. USA 911 Signs

3 SIGN SPECIFICATIONS The standard size for mailbox signs is 6" x 18". Sign blanks are made of.063 gauge aluminum which means they will not rust and are heavy enough not to be easily bent. Both the background and numbers are made of reflective vinyl (not painted) which also should last for many years. The sign blank and numbers should be of a contrasting color and both are available in all standard traffic colors including, red, brown, green, blue, yellow, orange, black, and white. Numbers can be applied either vertically or horizontally and will be applied to both sides. We will use 4" numbers for all signs but 5 digit signs (12345 Smith Rd) must be applied horizontally - they won't fit on 18" sign vertically. The standard size for house signs is 5" x 14". The house signs are single sided which means background and numbers will be applied to only 1 side. All other specifications are the same as mailbox signs. House signs can be used when house sits less than 50 feet from roadway.

4 We Will Customize This Flyer for You Emergency Services Need Our Help When emergency responders are called to a given location, there may be a delay in response if crews are unable to clearly see the address from the street. Although it is fairly easy to spot a heavy column of smoke coming from a house fire, it is difficult to see someone suffering from diabetic shock or a fall from a ladder. Despite recent technology advances, there is a big difference for responders in being directed to an address and actually locating that address. 911 Signs Help Save Lives Sign Details Sign is 6 x 18.o63 Aluminum Covered with Reflective Vinyl 4 Reflective Vinyl Numbers on Both Sides Will Last for Many Years School Info Goes Here We will customize flyer for you.
