NEWS RELEASE. From the City of Half Moon Bay’s eNews on July 14th, 2021,
Effective July 19, the Crisis Assistance Response & Evaluation Services (CARES) program is expanding to respond to calls across the entire mid-Coast, to include the area from the Tom Lantos Tunnels (Devil’s Slide) to just south of Half Moon Bay, including the Moonridge apartments outside the City limits. CARES provides the Coastside community with an alternative response to mental health-related 911 calls, responding to low-level, nonviolent calls involving welfare checks, suicidal thoughts, and other mental health distress, and substance abuse issues. All calls still go through 911, where County Public Safety Communications dispatches the appropriate service level based on the actual situation. More information about the program can be found on the City’s CARES website or by contacting Assistant City Manager Matthew Chidester at [email protected].
A partir del 19 de julio, el programa Servicios de evaluación y respuesta de asistencia ante crisis (CARES) se está expandiendo para responder a las llamadas en toda la costa media, el área desde los túneles Tom Lantos (Devil’s Slide) al sur hasta justo después de Miramontes Point Road. CARES brinda a la comunidad de Coastside una respuesta alternativa a las llamadas al 911 relacionadas con la salud mental, respondiendo a llamadas no violentas de bajo nivel que involucran controles de asistencia social, pensamientos suicidas y otros problemas de salud mental y abuso de sustancias. Todas las llamadas siguen pasando por el 911, donde Comunicaciones de Seguridad Pública del Condado despacha el nivel de servicio adecuado según la información disponible. Se puede encontrar más información sobre el programa en el sitio web de CARES de la ciudad o comunicándose con el administrador adjunto de la ciudad, Matthew Chidester, en [email protected].
