One of the more unusual things for new residents to become familiar with after moving to Big Canoe is the idea of three addresses:

Physical Street Address or Lot Number

P.O. Box Address

911 Address

The first two are common enough, but what about the 911 address? As the name implies by the use of '911' it is an emergency address. What it means is how far your home is located from a main road intersection. For example:

• 215 means you are located 0.215 miles from the main road intersection.
• 1157 means you are located 1.157 miles from the main road intersection.
• Also, coming from the intersection odd numbers are on the left side of the street and even numbers are on the right.

 It is recommended that your 911 address along with your lot number next to your telephone because Emergency Vehicles use the 911 address to more quickly locate your home in an emergency.

The purpose of this form is to provide pertinent medical and personal information to health care providers in case of a medical emergency when you are not able to provide this information yourself. This information would be invaluable if you were ever sick or injured. If this information is ever needed by medical personnel be assured that it will be held in complete confidence.
