We had a look recently at some gorgeous, kitsch and quite funny Victorian door knob notes that were a modern twist on traditional style … The door knob notes that Sacramento officials have recently come up with are a lot more serious, and more important in many ways.

The city of Sacramento in America is quite prone to flooding, and with the effects of global warming creating a much wetter global climate, people are having to deal with floods much more often. The city has come up with a ‘Safely Out’ kit, which includes door knob note which people can place on their front doors to let emergency services workers know whether the residents inside the house are in need of help, or the workers should move on to someone who is in worse trouble. An excellent idea and a great way to improve efficiency and waste less time in emergency situations. These knob notes should be great for people who live in earthquake prone areas also.

Our only critical thought is that they are hardly styled with any class or elegance, are they?! Perhaps you could make your own, to suit your home’s colour scheme and decorating theme :-)
