Community Support Centres

Community Support Centres provide a safe, local hub of assistance during major emergencies, offering vital support when severe weather or prolonged power outages occur.

The following facilities have volunteered to act as designated Community Support Centres (CSCs). These centres provide a vital, community-based response during severe weather events or other local emergencies. 

Community Support Centres will only be activated in the event of a major emergency (like severe weather) where there is a risk that people may be without power for a significant period, approaching 72 hours.
