Kia ora Kristin
Thanks for your email and my apologies because I did see it last week but forgot to reply straight away, and then forgot completely!
There might be some confusion between what Red Cross is doing and what Civil Defence are doing.
Essentially, we are offering one-hour emergency preparedness workshops to community groups.
From these, there may be individuals who are interested in further training to assist in an emergency event.
We aren’t really looking at setting up neighbourhood hubs but I think that is something that you could talk to Paul Allen about and I am sure he would be keen to talk further to your community about it .
I have attached a flyer for your information. We would be happy to run a workshop if you think it would be of benefit.
Cheers,
Steve

Kia ora Steve,
at the Sth Dn Stakeholders Mtg last Thursday you mentioned the RC project to help establish neighbourhood hubs for responses in the case of civil defense emergencies etc. I meant to grab some info off you at the end of the meeting, but forgot.
Would you be able to email me the info? I'd love for our co-housing complex up here to become such a hub (but of course I have to persuade 50 others that this is a good idea too!).
