E911 & Emergency Services
Enhanced 911 (E911) – Ferrisburgh, Vermont
The Enhanced 911 (E911) system ensures that when you dial 911, your call is routed to trained dispatchers who can quickly identify your location and send the right emergency responders — police, fire, or medical. Accurate addresses are essential so responders can find you quickly, especially if you cannot speak or are unsure of your location.
The Vermont Enhanced 911 Board works with towns like Ferrisburgh to maintain up‑to‑date address information and mapping. Posting your house number clearly and keeping your property visible from the road helps first responders reach you as quickly as possible.

Confidential Address Options – Safe at Home
Some residents may need additional confidentiality protections. Vermont’s Safe at Home Address Confidentiality Program, administered by the Vermont Secretary of State, allows eligible participants to use a substitute mailing address while keeping their physical address confidential. This program is often used by survivors of domestic violence, stalking, or other at-risk situations.
