Remember: 9-1-1 is not to be played with! It is for those who truly need it. In all cases, it is vital that you know the address and telephone number you are calling from in order to receive assistance as quickly as possible.
Remember: 9-1-1 is to be used for emergencies only. For non-emergency police, fire or medical requests, dial (540) 562-3265. For other non-emergencies, consult your telephone directory for the appropriate number for the agency you wish to contact. If you do not have a telephone directory, dial 4-1-1 for directory assistance.

To assist emergency responders to find your house more easily, clearly label your address. County Code Article Six Section 7-81 advises that building numbers shall not be less than three inches in height and shall be made of durable and clearly visible or light-reflecting material. Your address is to be placed to the side, above or on the main entrance door so that the number is plainly visible from the street. If the structure is more than 50 feet from the street or when the entrance is not visible from the street, the number shall be placed at the walk, driveway, or other suitable location that is easily discernible from the street.
