Telephone Reassurance
Program has
recently been implemented
by DMCC. It is a daily
check-up call that
is part of Alert San
Diego, the reverse
9-1-1 system. A daily
automated telephone
call check makes sure
that you answer your
phone at a designated
time. Unanswered calls
trigger a follow-up
response by DMCC personnel
to make sure you are
okay. You can enroll
in the program by
calling DMCC. You
can also register
your cell phone number
with Alert San Diego,
San Diego County’s
mass notification
system to receive
emergency information;
simply visit www.alertsandiego.com. Donate
Your Old Car, Boat
or Motorhome to DMCC. Are
you thinking of selling
or trading in that old
car, boat or RV? Why
not donate it instead?

donation. We will supply
you with the proper
