County 'guiding' residents
Information about San Bernardino County's most frequently used public
services is now available in a 16-page booklet called the "At Your
Service Resident Guide."
The guide is designed to promote awareness of
services and make it easier for residents to access the service they need most
often. It is being distributed to more than 200,000 households, and will also be available at the counters of many county offices. It can also be viewed in English and Spanish at
www.sbcounty.gov.
With a focus on providing critical information for residents who have
lost jobs, are facing foreclosure, are coping with family crisis, or
need other vital county services, the guide provides information ranging
from job training, pest control and healthcare to camping, senior
centers and wedding licenses.
"Fallout from the economic downturn makes access to service information
more vital than ever," said County Administrative Officer Mark Uffer.
"We want residents to know what services are available and how to access
those services."
At more than 20,000 square miles, San Bernardino County is the largest
county in the U.S. outside of Alaska. It has gained 300,000 new
residents since 2000 and expects another 300,000 to relocate to the county by
2012.
A handy refrigerator magnet with the county's new toll-free phone number
and website address is included with the guide.
