The City of Peterborough has launched an interactive online tool, myAddress Verification, to quickly verify officially recognized addresses in Peterborough announced on Tuesday.
The addresses are used by first responders to locate people quickly and accurately for emergency calls.
Residents can go online and use the tool to verify a property address and ensure that additional units at a single address are accounted for.
Data collected is also being provided to external service providers like 911 Emergency Services, Canada Post and Hydro One according to the City.
