2-1-1 Brevard activated the Community Information Hotline on Tuesday, Oct. 4, and continues to staff the phones today (Oct. 11) at the Brevard Emergency Operations Center.
Specialists have logged more than 3,000 calls, most from Brevard residents. The hotline is a partnership of 2-1-1 and Brevard County Emergency Management.
Information provided by callers is being used in the official assessment of damage, which will help determine the level of assistance offered by the FEMA.
2-1-1 also can link callers who need help in the cleanup with volunteer teams coordinated by United Way of Brevard. Learn more about that partnership in a column in Florida Today.
