911 Planning says addresses hinder emergency response progress
The 911 coordinator notes ongoing problems with placements and identifications in county areas lacking named streets and numbered homes. Duplication of Pine streets in Graniteville and multiple families sharing one PO box complicate tying names to addresses for responders. The database grew from 48 000 to about 58 000 addresses since 1988, with final totals near 70 000. A fifth staffer is urged to speed area by area mapping and reduce errors.
