What are Community Support Hubs?
These hubs are safe spaces where you can get help and advice during a crisis. They are run by the Council alongside emergency services and local partners. A hub can provide:
-
Clean-up equipment
-
Food and water
-
General assistance and emotional support
Where are they located?
Because Hubs are set up in response to specific emergencies, their locations change. The Council chooses sites based on where the flooding is worst and where it is safest for the public to travel. Virtual Hubs -are used if a physical building isn't safe or needed, help may be provided online or via phone instead. In some areas of the Upper Calder Valley, which are more frequently affected by floods, there are well-established plans for specific buildings to serve as Hubs.
How do I find out where my local Hub is?
If a flood occurs, locations will be posted immediately on social media channels and the latest news section of this website.
