Press 1 if you need Police

Cordless phones will not work during power outages, so it is important to always keep a corded phone in your home in case of emergency

New technology allows dispatchers to receive your phone number and approximate location where the call orginated from within a couple of hundred yards. The more information you can give, the better.

4/29/2009 update

 

The following information as I believe it will be the most efficient and comprehensive way to get answers to questions you may have at this time. The number is 2-1-1 however when I tried to call from my work land line it did not work (did work from my cell).   I have been told: If you are unable to reach 2-1-1 due to your telephone or cell phone carrier, a toll-free number is available: 1-877-211-MASS (6277).   The website ishttp://www.mass211.org/emergencyinfo.html    Located at the website are links to many valuable resources.

 
 The “Public Health Information Line” (1-866-627-7968 or 1-866-mass-wnv) has been updated.
There are five options (abbreviated below):
If you are a healthcare provider and would like to speak with an epidemiologist, press 2.
If you would like to listen to recorded information concerning swine flu, press 4. For Spanish, press 5.
If you have general questions about swine flu, press 1 or hang up and dial 211 to be connected with a resource specialist at MASS 211.

If you would like to hear a recorded message concerning diseases spread by mosquitoes, press 3.
