Local community hubs
Ashburton District Council lists the Rakaia Community Centre and Rakaia Search and Rescue headquarters among the district’s community hub locations. A hub may help communities coordinate and share information when normal services are disrupted. Always follow current instructions from the Council and emergency services.
