Information and Assistance
Emergency & Disaster Response
Northwest Indiana 2- 1-1 relieves pressure on 9-1-1 and emergency response teams by providing a number for citizens to call for non-emergency needs, freeing up emergency responders to deal with true emergencies.
Northwest Indiana 2-1-1 provides citizens with critical non-emergency assistance such as:
•Information on evacuation and return routes
•Emergency shelter/housing
•Food
•Social services
•Traffic closures
Northwest Indiana 2- 1-1 played a critical role during the 2008 Flood in Northwest Indiana by providing information and support to the residents of Lake, Porter, and LaPorte.
Health & Safety
Northwest Indiana 2- 1-1 can serve as the central point to call for updated public health information, such as in the recent H1N1 scare.
Police and sheriff's deputies have an easy-to-remember number to give to at-risk populations as a resource.
