211 Placer launched to the public on July 1! 

211 systems are beneficial in emergencies, like the wildfires that have ravaged California in recent years. The systems allow for the quick dissemination of information regarding evacuations, shelters and aid, all while reducing call volume to 911.

Placer County had previously been the largest county in California without a 211 system. The proposal for 211 arose out of conversations with community groups, law enforcement and other local leaders, including Beverly Anderson, a member of Placer People of Faith Together.

"It's such a great new opportunity for all of us. It's a miracle," said Anderson, who has been a grassroots supporter of 211 in Placer County for about a decade.

Connecting Point now services 211 in Nevada County , Placer County , and the Tahoe Truckee region.
