Resiliency Hubs
Keeping communities connected, powered, and supported during emergencies.
What is a Resiliency Hub?
A resiliency hub is a marae or community facility equipped to provide essential electricity, water, ablutions, and communications during extended outages or civil defence events.
These hubs become safe gathering points where people can stay connected, access water, prepare food, and support one another.
Why They Matter
Severe weather, remote roads, and long rural feeder lines mean some communities can be isolated during major events.
Resiliency hubs ensure that even if homes lose power or access, the community still has a reliable place to go.
How It Works
Each hub combines:
- 01 Solar power Rooftop generation that keeps producing while the network is down.
- 02 Battery storage Stored energy for overnight use and instant switch-over.
- 03 Generator backup Extra capacity for longer events or full-site supply.
- 04 Resilient communications A connection to the outside world when the usual links fail.
During an outage, the system automatically powers essential circuits like lighting, water pumps, refrigeration, Wi-Fi, and device charging. Generators can support longer events or full-site supply when needed.
Civil Defence Alignment
Resiliency hubs support — but do not replace — formal civil defence operations.
We work with councils, iwi, and emergency services to ensure each hub fits into the wider emergency management framework.
Who We Work With
We partner with:
- Marae trusts and iwi organisations
- Community hall committees
- District and regional councils
- Civil defence teams
- Emergency services
- Schools
- Local solar and electrical contractors
