     It took 20 years, but it has finally happened, the non emergency 2-1-1 line. If it has not been available people in Humboldt county it will be on February 28th. You can access it by phone or web to get information. Volunteers, interns from Humboldt State University, or paid staff are trained as center specialists. This could help a lot of people.  
     I think this is a great idea because now people can get knowledgeable information with the press of three buttons 2, 1, and 1. If I wanted to know about what time the next plane to new york was I would call 2-1-1 or I may have to wait till February 28th. We would live fine without it, it is just that it makes life a little easier.
