新的社区中心将在灾难期间帮助保护霍克斯湾居民

Share:

在二月份飓风加布里埃尔造成的破坏之后,霍克斯湾正在采取重大措施来加强备灾工作。霍克斯湾的农村地区受到的打击尤其严重,由于道路受损,许多社区缺乏电力、通信、燃料和食物,使他们陷入困境。

作为回应,初级产业部的北岛天气事件基金已向黑斯廷斯区议会拨款130万美元,用于建立10个社区抗灾中心。这些中心旨在在紧急情况下为社区提供支持,配备了备用发电机、卫星移动连接器、餐饮套件、应急卫生设施、收音机和卫生包等必需品。

帕托卡居民伊莎贝尔·克劳肖回忆起飓风加布里埃尔的后果,她透露,她的社区由大约300名居民组成,与黑斯廷斯和纳皮尔隔绝了两个月。她强调了他们面临的挑战,尤其是燃料短缺,而燃料对于恢复道路的机械来说是必不可少的。他们设法使用家用发电机,依靠直升机提供关键物资,但缺乏其他必需品,包括药品和食物。

虽然他们确实有社区会堂作为聚会场所,但它没有能力充当整个社区的避难所或设施。克劳肖认为,新的复原力中心将为居民提供安慰和保障,确保他们在危机期间拥有必要的资源。

黑斯廷斯区议会正在与当地社区合作,最终确定中心位置并确定他们的具体需求。该委员会还在探索额外的融资机会,以建立超过最初的10个枢纽。分配的资金将用于购买集装箱、改善现有的社区基础设施和购买重要物资。

副市长塔尼亚·克尔强调了这些中心的关键作用,他指出,飓风加布里埃尔强调了备灾的重要性。她强调说,这些中心将作为避风港,提供由各自社区确定的基本便利设施。目标是根据必要性、优先事项和可用资金,在未来提供更多由社区主导的中心。
