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.
