What about cell phones? I sure hope that one of my old street adresses dont pop up for 911 if im in an emergency somwhere...
(a topic from a podcast that's now about a week old): I have a question -- why is it so important for everyone to have a 911 service that automatically tells the 911 operator your address?
A true story: we called an ambulance to my rural area home about 10 years ago. I don't remember whether they could get our address off the system, but it doesn't matter because we were able to tell them the address, and even give them directions. They told me they needed me to park a car at the end of the driveway with flashers on (it was night, and my driveway is 400 feet long). It was inconvenient, but I managed to do it, and later they told me they wouldn't have been able to find me if I hadn't done so.
So my question is, how does having only the address always assure you will get a speedy response? I don't think it always does.
Another "rule" is that your 911 number (your street number) has to be visible from the street, but they don't go around enforcing that. In my area, probably around 40% of the homes, maybe less, have the number visible.
