Otumoetai Community Emergency Hub Readiness Drill 7 May

Angela Wallace from Volunteering Services

In a disaster, it’s likely official services will be stretched to a point where they must prioritise the most urgent callouts. The people closest to you, your neighbours, will likely be a key source of support.
A Community Emergency Hub is a place where you and your neighbours can go to help each other in a major emergency and share skills and resources, information about what’s happening in your neighbourhood, and support others who in the same situation as you and your family.
TCC are introducing Community Emergency Hubs to some suburbs in Tauranga in 2025. These will be run by the community, and you can pitch in to help.
Live near C3 Church / The Atrium? Come down to our community event, with food and fun activities, and get to know your neighbours in a comfortable setting before you might need to support each other.
7 May
6.30-8.30pm
C3 Church/The Atrium
