As the nights get longer, I would like to encourage everyone to consider the recommendations by the Hunt the House project. This asks you to think about how easy it would be for emergency services to find your house, particularly in the dark. Valuable time can be wasted by police or paramedics if they cannot find your house due to unclear names or numbers.
There are some key questions to ask yourself including:
- Is my property readily identifiable?
- Could a member of the emergency services find my property quickly in the dark?
- Is my house number easy to read on my outside wall or property?
There are a number of things you can do to make your house easier to find, so for more information please visit the Hunt the House website http://www.ideas2action.org.uk/hunt-the-house/
