Where most communities begin

Not sure where to start? That’s okay

Many marae and communities know the risks they could face, such as cyclones, flooding, damaged roads or being cut off. But knowing what to do next isn’t always easy. That’s where we can help.

1
Start with a kōreroWe can meet by video call or in person, taking the time to understand your people, your place and what you might need.
2
Understand your roheTogether, we look at how your community works, the resources already in place and the risks in your area.
3
Have a preparedness huiBring people together to share local knowledge, talk through the risks and work through practical ideas that could help.
How we work

Turning the kōrero into action

From there, we work alongside you to put the right support in place. It might be something simple or a full Resilience Hub. What matters is that it fits your people, your rohe and the risks you face.

01

Shape the response

Together, we work out what will be useful, practical and manageable for your community.

02

Bring it together

We organise the equipment, resources and support needed to get everything up and running.

03

Build confidence

We help your people understand the system and stay connected after handover, so it remains ready to use.

How we can help

Practical preparedness, shaped around your community

Preparedness looks different in every rohe. We help you find the right mix of equipment, planning and training for your people and your place.

From the communities we work with

In their words.

We measure success by what marae and communities tell us once the work is done and the hub is theirs.

The Resilience Hub is outstanding, its layout, equipment placement, and storage are all meticulously planned, and the breadth of essential resources available for whānau and community is impressive.

This initiative has significantly strengthened confidence in our community’s preparedness and provides a future-focused solution that aligns perfectly with our kaupapa.

H HineTe Tawa Kaiti Lands Trust

We were seeking a community hub that could support both hapū members and the broader Te Puna community, especially vulnerable communities such as elderly, young families, and people with disabilities.

The Crisis Bunker Resilience hub is an important resource for us to be fully equipped to look after our whānau and hapū. It just makes sense to be prepared.

P PaulaPirirākau Tribal Authority

Today patience and perseverance paid off, we had our amazing, brilliant, stunning and incredible branded Resilience Hub arrive to our marae. The team set up and placed all our precious equipment inside the hub with ease.

The contents of the hub are second to none. Honestly covers everything we will need duration of a crisis. We are truly grateful and appreciative to be recipients of this beautiful taonga.
