Noisebridge 311[edit]

311 is Noisebridge's own local, non-emergency contact number. Dial 14154498862 ext 311.

If there is a real emergency (fire, floods, foes, fenestration) always CALL 911 first.

You should probably call Noisebridge 311 after that though.

Calling 311[edit]

  • Pick up one of the local payphones, and dial 311 (you won't be charged for this call)
  • ..Or dial 1-415-449-8862 (1-415-HIWUTNB) from any phone and type '311' at the prompt.

A text message will be sent to a group of people who have volunteered, and you'll be dropped into a conference call, which the volunteers will use to get organized. Stay on the line, and explain things there.

  • If power or Internet is down at NB, use your phone to email a message with your phone number and the nature of the non-emergency to nb311 at the name of the hackerspace, dot net. Someone will call you back.
