Hobsonville Pt. Gets Ready <-|-> COVID-19 Support Group
STAY PREPARED - Hi neighbours! When any emergency or disaster strikes a community, one of the best predictors of how well residents will fare isn’t how much stuff they have but how well they know each other. Knowing who your neighbours are and what skills and resources they can provide in a time of need is a critical part to any emergency preparedness strategy - one that is often overlooked or underestimated.
A great tool was developed during the Canterbury Earthquakes called Canterbury Gets Ready - a database which stores household info such as the number of people living at each residence, emergency contact details, skills and resources available, as well as any serious conditions or special needs that volunteers (like me and any of you who'd like to help) and first responders need to be aware of.
So....how about we put together our own "Hobsonville Point Gets Ready" strategy?
The point of the database is to disseminate local advice linked with local services, provide care packs to vulnerable people (more on this later, watch this space) and to help neighbours to connect.
The first step is to touch base with those who want to be a part of this. It's fine if you don't want to participate - and anyone reading this already has access to info online. I'm more worried about oldies & newbies.
