Kyiv and Kharkiv Open Emergency Resilience Hubs for Heat and Communication

Mobile Resilience Hubs from the State Emergency Service

According to ДСНС: Following Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, the State Emergency Service (SES) has established mobile Resilience Hubs in the cities of Kyiv and Kharkiv. These facilities provide essential services to help residents maintain basic living standards during this ongoing crisis.

Services Available at the Resilience Hubs

At the Resilience Hubs, people can access the following:

• Warm up in a heated space
• Get hot drinks
• Charge electronic devices
• Use communication equipment

Emergency service personnel staff these points around the clock, offering support to all who need it. This initiative is a crucial step in ensuring people's safety and comfort under extremely difficult conditions. For many, these hubs are a vital lifeline during widespread power outages.

Thanks to these hubs, residents of Kyiv and Kharkiv have a place to receive necessary aid and support during this challenging time.

The SES's mobile Resilience Hubs form a critical part of the system for providing the population with vital services during emergencies. In a situation where energy infrastructure is under attack, such initiatives help people stay safe and access essential support, which is particularly important during the winter months. This model could potentially be expanded to other regions facing similar challenges due to the ongoing war.
