Local United Ways and their partner agencies continue to support relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Ike. UWC sent two call specialists to assist with 2-1-1 operations in Texas. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November. When you need to learn about services and agencies that help people prepare for and recover from natural disasters turn to United Way 2-1-1 for a simple and efficient way to connect with resources.


 
Introducing The 2-1-1 Barometer
The Community Results Center is launching an initiative that showcases the United Way 2-1-1 call data. Several times per year, the CRC will publish The 2-1-1 Barometer, a report that utilizes 2-1-1 data and other information to explore issues affecting Connecticut residents. 2-1-1 collects data on the information callers are looking for and the referrals that are made, thus creating a wealth of information that serves as a gauge of the needs present in the state. The first edition focuses on energy assistance.
