If you don't have an emergency, Call 2-1-1

This is a great service and it can leave the 9-1-1 call center to the real life threating calls.

One Single Call. A World of Help.

2-1-1 California

2-1-1 California is the statewide network of local 2-1-1 information and referral providers, and is a collaboration of United Ways of California and the California Alliance of Information and Referral Services (CAIRS). The mission of 2-1-1 California is to ensure that California develops the statewide infrastructure and support necessary to ensure quality 2-1-1 services for everyone. To further that goal, 2-1-1 California and its members routinely work with local governments, state legislators, state and local agencies and members of Congress on solutions that will guarantee everyone in California is able to find help by calling or searching 2-1-1.

“The 2-1-1 service was an invaluable resource during the firestorm in that it freed up calls from 9-1-1. We could give information on repopulated neighborhoods to the 2-1-1 operators. We saw 9-1-1 calls diminish over time because of that.” Read more at www.211california.org
