A business in Papamoa is setting up emergency management bunkers, and other equipment for communities in the lead up to and following a major disaster. Hamish Coulter started Crisis Bunker after Cyclone Gabrielle in 2023 when he saw the lack of key infrastructure like communications in the wake of that disaster.
His business installs a hub - typically for the likes of schools or iwi - as a way of quickly having key equipment like shelter, food rations, cooking and water supplies. They also provide ready bags for households.
