This session from the North Texas Nonprofit Institute will cover what 211 Texas is, how to reach us, what options are available when someone calls in, what types of resource we list, how we work disasters, the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry, and how to use the 211 Texas website.

 Wildfires are perhaps the most dreaded natural disaster in the Panhandle. Since 2006, when Amarillo Area Foundation opened the Panhandle Disaster Relief Fund (PDRF), residents have experienced the accumulated loss of millions of dollars in homes, businesses, out-buildings, vehicles, livestock, grazing land, and fencing.
