Community Support Centres

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.
