Are you prepared for an emergency?
If the Wellington region experiences a big earthquake, communities may need to rely on themselves for up to a week or more before official help can get through.
Community Emergency Hubs are places to gather and support each other during and after a disaster like an earthquake. They are opened and run entirely by the community, using their local knowledge, skills and resources to tackle the immediate challenges presented by a disaster.
Te Horo shows us how their Community Emergency Hub has been a great place to get to know your neighbour for a great purpose, to prepare their Hub and know what to do during and after a disaster.
Find out about your local Community Emergency Hub and learn how you and your community can get through together.
