Loudoun County residents need to make sure their address is visible to emergency personnel in the wake of the record-setting snowstorm that dumped nearly three feet of snow in many sections of the county. 
 
Public safety officials are telling residents whose addresses can no longer be seen - because, for example, their mailbox is covered by snow - to post their address on their front door (or at the end of their driveway when their house can not be seen from the street) so that it is visible for emergency vehicles. Residents should put their address on a piece of paper in clear and large print and tape it to their front door.  

We also suggest for those residents that live near a fire hydrant that you clear around the hydrant so that we may access quickly it in the event of a fire.
