NOTE: Not all cell phones, pay phones and company pbx phone systems allow callers to dial 2-1-1 or other three-digit phone numbers.  But you can still reach the 2-1-1 call center by dialing (402) 444-6666.

***The 2-1-1 call center took hundreds of calls after the June 2008 storms, collecting property damage reports for local and federal emergency management agencies.  And after Hurricane Katrina, hundreds more called to offer donated goods and services to help hurricane survivors who were brought to the Omaha storm shelter.
