You can also call 211 or (719) 575-8888 for El Paso or Teller counties for information, or toll free state wide 1-866- 760-6489. Do not call 911 unless it is an actual emergency.

Also do not call 911 for suspected violations of the Stay At Home order, instead call (719) 578-3167 or email covid19 at coag.gov.

If you notice any scams, fraud, price gouging, or other attempts to take advantage of Coloradans during this public health emergency, contact Stop Fraud Colorado at 1-800-222-4444 or www.StopFraudColorado.gov<http://www.StopFraudColorado.gov>.

The national hotline for the National Center for Disaster Fraud is 1-866-720-5721 or email the NCDF at disaster at leo.gov<mailto:disaster at leo.gov> . The NCDF is a part of the Justice Department.

Anyone interested in donating blood should call 1-877-25-VITAL or visit vitalant.org to pre-screen and schedule an appointment to donate blood. The Vitalant donation center is located at 3670 Austin Bluffs Pkwy, Colorado Springs. Or you can use the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) -- though the Red Cross apparently doesn't directly collect blood in our area they can help you get set up with a donation center.


Reminder that we are holding a daily Health and Welfare radio net at 12:30 in the afternoon on the PPFMA 146.970 and 448.450 MHz linked repeaters using a 100 Hz tone.  All hams are welcome to participate.
