Were you prepared when Cyclone Gabrielle impacted Northland?
What was your Plan B when infrastructure failed? Plan C? Plan D?

- backup energy systems to keep the power on
- and more!

PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK
Here's what participants to date so far have had to say after attending a workshop:
“It was fantastic.”
“It reminded me of all the things I knew I should do, but haven’t yet. Now I will.”
“Having the generator on site was great. And to have the fellow from Hubands who had the practical knowledge and advice we all needed to hear. I’m going to get one installed now for our dairy shed.”
“It reminded me of the importance of not being complacent. I want to do more for our house and farm, but also speak with neighbours about how they can be ready for next time.”
“We lost a culvert in the 2023 storms. We’ve fixed that, but today had us thinking about the other things we rely on. We’re going to go back to the farm, take stock, and make some plans of things to sort out.”
Participants at the Wellsford Workshop hear from Dave at Hubands about generator options for rural properties.
Feedback from participants at the Wellsford Workshop was overwhelmingly positive.
