Neighbourhood Support Resources

In our Neighbourhood Resources section 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 Manual

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.

Get Prepared Hosting Kit

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.

Communications

One of the keys to being a connected, supported and informed neighbourhood is having an effective way to communicate with each other both in good times and in emergencies.

It’s also useful to think about how you might communicate with others around you when the phone and or internet networks are done (as happened in the 2022 floods).

In this instance, there is a network of community-owned UHF radios that community members in each of the neighbourhoods have access to.

Find out more about what you can do to ensure you stay connected here.
