Where's your nearest Community Emergency Hub?

20 Jan 2026

A Community Emergency Hub is a place where you and your neighbours can go to help each other in an emergency such as a flood or earthquake. 

Do you know where yours is?

In an emergency, official responders will need to prioritise the most urgent issues, so it's likely for the first few days you'll need to help each other within your local community. Community Emergency Hubs are designated places where you can gather and solve problems using the skills and resources which already exist among your community.
