COUNTY WAITING FOR ADDITIONAL E-911 ADDRESSING APPROVAL |
(05/11/2009) |
Calhoun's E-911 Director Gary Buchanan says he is waiting on the state's E-911 Addressing and Mapping officials to approve the rest of Calhoun's addressing, so residents can be advised of their new E-911 address. Several sections of the county have received their new E-911 address. While Calhoun was among the first WV counties to complete the addressing and mapping and submit the project to state officials, there is a backlog waiting for approval.

911 Director Buchanan displays signs that Calhoun households are eligible for new E-911 markers to help identify their property for emergency responders, says Buchanan. The Calhoun County E-911 Center, in cooperation with the county volunteer fire departments, has a program to install E-911 address number signs on county locations, using volunteer firefighters to install the signs and posts. The signs and posts will be installed at households and businesses for a $10 donation, the donation will go to the fire departments. For a sign and installation, call 304-354-0911. |
