After a major disaster like an earthquake or storm, damaged infrastructure and power outages can make it hard for people to stay connected with loved ones and services. This can impact community well-being, as well as response and recovery efforts. To address this, a pilot project was implemented to test an innovative solution that will provide power and internet access to the community after a disaster. naenae huttvalley places emergencyservices Thu, 05 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.wremo.nz/news-and-events/wremo-news/aotearoas-first-solar-battery-powered-community-emergency-hub/ Wellington Regional Emergency Management Office (WREMO) 2024-09-05T00:00:00Z -41.2043217 174.9460703169205 https://www.lifeflight.org.nz/2024/09/02/meet-deb-from-kapiti/ While watching the evening news, their world was shaken by an unexpected cardiac arrest.
