911 Addressing
Henry County has two Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPS), a south end location and a north end location. All 911 calls received on the south end of the county are routed to the City of Headland and 911 calls received on the north end of the county are routed to the City of Abbeville. Abbeville and Headland are responsible for dispatching police, fire and rescue in their respective areas.

911 addressing is an important aspect of this office. Without an orderly address system, it is very hard for your home or business to be located quickly during an emergency by police, fire and rescue. Please call (334) 585-1911 with any addressing questions. If we are busy with another call, please leave a message and we will call you back as soon as possible.

Posting at your driveway.

Your address number should be posted at your driveway, visible from both directions of travel. Your address should be posted at the entrance to the driveway, regardless if you have a mailbox.

Posting on your home.

Your address number should also be clearly posted on your home, no less than 3 inches in height so it can be seen at night. Always remember, you want emergency units to find your location as fast as possible!
