What's a Hub?
What's a Hub?
4AM. A violent shake jolts you awake. 90 seconds of terror, then silence.
Power out. Cell service dead. Gas smells linger. Your home is standing, but what about your neighborhood? Your city?
As neighbors emerge with flashlights, checking on each other, a crucial question arises: Where do you go for information? How can you help?
During an emergency city, state, and federal resources will be overwhelmed and will not be available for days or weeks, so neighborhoods must plan to work together. Community Emergency Hubs are places where people gather after a disaster to help each other by sharing information.
We don't have food or shelter, but we collect and share information about where vital needs can be met.
