WASHINGTON, D.C. - Operation Lifesaver, Inc. (OLI) will launch ENS Sign Awareness Day on June 24th as a way to shine a light on the importance of Blue and White Emergency Notification System (ENS) signs at railroad crossings.

The Blue and White signs posted at railroad crossings will include a phone number and location information in order to quickly report emergencies. Below is a video from OLI on the importance of the Blue and White ENS sign.

“Located across the U.S. where roadways cross railroad tracks, ENS signs provide a critical connection to railroads in emergencies,” said OLI Executive Director Rachel Maleh. “Recognizing and using this sign in a crisis – like a stuck vehicle or trouble on the tracks – can save lives, when seconds count. . . The sign may be small, but its impact is enormous. . . This campaign empowers people with knowledge that can make all the difference in an emergency. Knowing what to do – and how to act quickly – can prevent a tragedy.”
