Resilience centre
A crisis center is a public building or space located within a local government unit, where residents can receive information, advice, and assistance during a crisis.
The purpose of a resilience centre is to ensure the functioning of society and provide essential assistance to people during a crisis. It can take the form of a mobile container equipped with necessary supplies, a fire station, a local cultural center, a library, a municipal building, or any other familiar community building known to local people.
During a crisis, the local government will open resilience centres and inform residents of their locations.
Resilience centres are equipped with generators and ensure minimal communication capabilities.
At the resilience centre, residents can access:
- Information about the crisis, including guidance on taking shelter, evacuation, and safety protocols.
- Drinking water or information about its availability.
- Opportunities to charge their phones or details on where they can do so.
Resilience centres are staffed by trained individuals who are ready to assist during emergencies and provide crucial information. If necessary, experienced volunteers with skills and knowledge in crisis management may also be brought in to help.
