We have some housekeeping to get to.
On a previous episode, we had a question about the phone number you should call before planting a tree.
The answer was 811, but in the follow-up discussion, there was some wondering aloud.
about the other 1-1 phone numbers.
So here's a full list.
2-1-1 is community services and information, examples being food banks and support groups.
They'll tell you where those are located.
3-1-1, municipal government services, examples being to report abandoned vehicles or noise complaints.
Those are non-emergencies that you call for.
4-1-1, directory assistance.
So you call 4-1-1 and it tells you the phone number to something else.
That was one we had heavily discussed.
Excuse me, 511 is traffic.
611, telephone company customer service.
711, telecommunications for deaf and hard of hearing.
811, underground utility location.
911, emergency services.
Most, but not all, are nationally operated, and some of them, like 411, which is the directory assistance, and 611, which is the telephone customer service, are actually going extinct and are getting harder to find.
So there are all of your 1-1s.
I did about two months ago.
