“United Way's 2-1-1 call center in San Francisco was able to spring into action quickly, thanks to disaster preparedness and response agreements that are in place among United Ways and other 2-1-1 providers around the country,” said UWBA 2-1-1 Director Ed Schoenberger.

You can help support relief efforts:

Donate to 2-1-1 Bay Area to help build the call center’s ability to respond to this and other disasters.

Staying Prepared

Here in the Bay Area we face many natural perils including most obviously the threats of earthquakes and fires. The tragedies experienced can help to remind us that we too must remain vigilant and be prepared by creating a crisis-preparedness kit for you and your family.

To be prepared for an emergency, the local chapter of the Bay Area (Red Cross) has simplified the process to three easy steps:

Make a Plan
Get a Kit
Be informed and Get trained
