Hotlines

Hotlines are phone numbers you can call in case of an emergency, kind of like 911. They are private and won't track any personal data unless it's required. Please call these if you or someone you know are in danger and need immediate help. SanDiegoCounty.gov has a good FAQ section that applies to most hotlines. Use helplines (or warmlines) if nobody is in immediate danger.
