About CRN
Who We Are
The Community Resilience Network (CRN) is a community-driven initiative dedicated to preparing Papakura for the unexpected. We bring neighbours, schools, businesses, and local organisations together to foster a connected, prepared, and resilient community. Through education, engagement, and resources, we empower residents to face natural disasters with confidence and unity.
Our Story
The CRN was born out of a shared vision to ensure Papakura’s neighbourhoods are ready for any emergency. With the support of local leaders, residents, and organisations, CRN has grown into a comprehensive network committed to equipping Papakura for a safer future.
Our Vision
A connected, resilient Papakura where every individual, family, and neighbourhood is prepared to respond effectively to natural disasters and support one another in times of need.
Our Mission
To educate, connect, and equip Papakura residents with the tools, knowledge, and networks needed to build a self-sustaining framework for disaster preparedness.
Our Goals
- Community Preparedness: Increase awareness and readiness for natural disasters while staying responsive to emerging risks.
- Building Connections: Strengthen neighbourhood networks and engage diverse groups, including youth, for mutual aid during emergencies.
- Resource Availability: Provide access to user-friendly, practical tools for disaster readiness.
- Sustainability and Self-Sufficiency: Develop lasting systems and empower communities to maintain and grow resilience initiatives independently.
- Adaptability: Ensure CRN’s initiatives remain flexible and responsive to changing needs and risks.
