On January 1, 2010, a new state law was put into place requiring dock owners on Lake of the Ozarks, and all Missouri lakes, to post the closest emergency address for their dock. Hopefully, this will help with faster response times by emergency services to incidents on the water. It should also aid in non-emergency calls for lost or disabled boaters. Smart Postal Centers offers fast services on all Ameren UE dock address signs to Lake of the Ozarks residents.

This new law affects all docks on the Lake of the Ozarks and all Missouri lakes that are managed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The law states that “the appropriate ‘911’ address or in the absence of a ‘911’ system, the physical address nearest to the dock by land,” must be posted.
How the Sign Should Be Displayed
It is recommended that the sign be visible when looking at the dock from the water. The Missouri State Highway Patrol recommends a minimum of three inch, reflective letters be used for the addresses on the signs. The letters should also be made in a color that contrasts with the backing. It is recommended that the posted address include the street number and name, as well as the zip code, or the 911 address and zip code. For convenience, the dock permit number, which in most cases should be displayed already, can be posted alongside the emergency address.
