災害時にホークスベイの住民を守るための新しいコミュニティハブ

Share:

2月にサイクロン・ガブリエルがもたらした壊滅的な被害を受けて、ホークスベイは災害への備えを強化するために重要な措置を講じています。ホークスベイの農村部は特に大きな打撃を受けました。道路の損傷により孤立したために、電力、通信、燃料、食料が不足しているコミュニティが数多くありました。

これを受けて、第一次産業省の北島気象事象基金は、ヘイスティングス地区議会に130万ドルを拠出し、地域のレジリエンス・ハブを10か所設立しました。これらのハブは、緊急時に地域社会を支援するために設計されており、予備発電機、衛星モバイルコネクタ、ケータリングキット、緊急衛生設備、ラジオ、衛生キットなどの必需品を備えています。

パトカ在住のイザベル・クローショーは、サイクロン・ガブリエルの余波を思い起こさせ、約300人の住民からなる彼女のコミュニティが、ヘイスティングスとネーピアから2か月間遮断されたことを明らかにした。彼女は、彼らが直面している課題、特に道路を復旧させるために機械に欠かせない燃料の不足を強調しました。彼らは家庭用発電機でなんとか管理し、重要な物資はヘリコプターに頼っていましたが、医薬品や食料など、他の必需品が不足していました。

集まる場所としてのコミュニティホールはありましたが、コミュニティ全体の避難所や施設として機能する設備は整っていませんでした。Crawshawは、新しいレジリエンス・ハブが住民の安心と安らぎの源となり、危機発生時に必要な資源を確保できるようになると考えています。

ヘイスティングス地区議会は地域コミュニティと協力して、ハブの設置場所を確定し、地域特有のニーズを確認しています。市議会は、当初の10か所を超える拠点を設立できるよう、追加の資金調達機会も模索しています。割り当てられた資金は、コンテナの購入、既存のコミュニティインフラの強化、および重要な物資の購入に使用されます。

タニア・カー副市長は、これらの拠点が果たす重要な役割を強調し、サイクロン・ガブリエルが準備の重要性を強調したと指摘しました。彼女は、これらのハブは安全な避難所としての役割を果たし、それぞれのコミュニティが決めた必要不可欠なアメニティを提供すると強調しました。目標は、必要性、優先順位、利用可能な資金に基づいて、これらのコミュニティ主導のハブを今後さらに提供することです。
