How will addressing affect the 911 system?
With the development of addresses on an evenly spaced grid the capabilities of local emergency providers will be greatly enhanced. If you use a cell phone the new addressing system will be able to assist in finding your location with newer mobile phones with GPS technology. Any location in the county will be locatable. Will I need to contact my public utility provider of these changes. The Lincoln County Telephone Company and Lincoln County Power Company (or local public utilities) will be provided new addresses by the county planning department. Providers such as mobile phone, propane and satellite television companies will need to be notified by the resident.
