What will you find at the Hub?
Amenities
To make Emergency Contact Hubs as wide and encompassing as possible, there is no pre-defined list of criteria. However, we would expect that all hubs to have at least:
- An enclosed structure (building).
- Running water (with a sink to wash up in and fill water bottles).
- Toilets.
- Chairs/Tables.
- An ability to provide heating.
Some of the hubs might have extra amenities including:
- Kitchen
- Showers
- Display equipment
- Books/Games
- Power generators
Staffing
The hubs will be primarily staffed by the community themselves, and therefore the structure and make-up of the staffing will be designed on what works best in your area. However, there are some pre-defined roles that we suggest each Emergency Contact Hub uses, these include a Supervisor, Welfare Officer and a Needs and Offer Officer. These roles come with lanyards to help easily identify the staff.
