Neighbourhood Resources

Welcome to the Neighbourhood Resource page.

On this page you will find links to documents and resources that have been created to support neighbourhood and pod/ street leaders to facilitate the development of their neighbourhoods.

The intention of the neighbourhood development is to build the connections between people living within a neighbourhood and the capacity of the neighbourhood to support each other before, during and after a disaster.

The FIRST SET OF DOCUMENTS, centre around a ‘Manual’ for neighbourhood development.

The core ‘Manual’ document outlines some proposed tasks and suggested support documents, which are listed here on the page. You can download the separate documents, one at a time, as needed or you can download all of the documents in one pack.

The SECOND SET OF DOCUMENTS relate to the ‘Get Prepared for Floods and Storms’ workshop.

Originally neighbourhood and pod leaders attended a workshop with SES trainer Jack Frost and neighbourhood project coordinator, Marlena Basser. The intention was to have all the participants develop a preparation plan for floods and storms during the workshop and then to provide them with the tools and resources to do the same with their pod neighbours.

You can watch a video (in 3 parts) of the original training, here.
Videos will open in a new window.

The tools and resources are provided here in two kits.
