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.
