Our Response to Disaster
Disaster response is a core function of 211 San Diego. We are built to scale quickly—staff, technology, and partnerships – to immediately connect people with resources to navigate the impacts of a disaster. We also connect people to recovery resources long after news headlines fade.
Our Care Coordination/CIE
The CIE connects health, social service, housing, and emergency partners through shared data and referrals, transforming disconnected systems into a coordinated network that responds to individual needs in real time.
