An Emergency Hub is a pre-determined location where neighbors and community members can gather to exchange information and resources in the event of a major disaster. It is an essential part of our response to any disaster and will help us communicate with one another and citywide emergency response teams. In a disaster City emergency services and all departments will be following their disaster plans and will not be able to provide emergency services. We have to be prepared to take care of ourselves, our families, and our neighbors for an unknown length of time. Many of your neighbors have gotten special training and licensure to operate ham and other amateur radio communication devices. At each Neighborhood Hub there will be volunteers to ensure that some limited access to information is maintained.
