OBTAINING A Physical "9-1-1"
Address in Rapides Parish
Whether it’s for new telephone service or other utilities, or perhaps a permit, you will be required to provide a valid street address, or physical “9-1-1” address. In fact, you can not receive new telephone service or utility service in Rapides Parish without a valid address that emergency personnel can respond to the event that you call “9-1-1” for assistance.
