Putting the community into hub training

Providing training for community members to help with self activation in the event of an emergency has been a real focus for our team this year.

Recently the team spent time with the Healesville Community Recovery Group to deliver Community Emergency Hub training.

In a resource-constrained environment where agencies are often unable to immediately access communities at risk of geographical isolation, it is important to provide people with the tools and resources for self-activation before the cavalry arrives.

Community Emergency Hub training explores:

• The Community Hub concept

• Activation triggers and considerations when opening the Hub

• Asset mapping to consider impacts into community assets, essential infrastructure, resources available

• Roles and responsibilities

• A practical exercise to work through the Guidelines and “Hub Tub”

The Healesville Community Recovery Group was formed after the Black Saturday Fires. They are a proactive and community group, demonstrated through the maturity of networks, arrangements and programs already developed by the group.
