Current location in the site
During an emergency it is intended that people will remain in their homes as this is where they are likely to feel most comfortable, be familiar with their surroundings and have the things that they need.
There will however be times when it is not practical due to the damage that has occurred or if there is a threat to the occupant's life.
Throughout the district there are a number of Emergency Centres plus Emergency Welfare Centres.
Emergency Centres are intended as a place to gather for a short period of time offering shelter until the threat has passed and people can return to their homes.
Emergency Welfare Centres are intended to provide facilities for those who have been more seriously affected by an event. Offering services such as accommodation, clothing, food and other personal services such as help with insurance, money, stress.
