Research undertaken and literature reviewed show that major natural disasters present considerable risk to Governors Bay. Earthquakes, and resulting secondary hazards from natural disasters, could lead to the isolation of the Governors Bay community for an extended period. In particular, the rupture of the Alpine Fault and the resulting mega-quake could leave Governors Bay isolated for well over three weeks. Weaknesses in existing infrastructure in Governors Bay further places residents at risk. Therefore, it is essential that residents are prepared for a period of extended isolation, with little to no access to clean water, power, internet and cellular coverage. Ultimately, community preparedness will be the key to maintaining social cohesion and saving lives during an emergency event. The community hub in Governors Bay establishes a pre-determined locale for community co-ordination, collection, and distribution of supplies as well as a functional place to go when all else fails.

An icon of Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour is set to re-open tomorrow, after being damaged in the Canterbury Earthquakes. The Governors Bay jetty, locally known for its extraordinary length and unofficial jetty jump competitions, has been closed since 2015. Now, it's back to its former glory, just in time for summer. Niva Chittock went for a sneak peek ahead of the official opening. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6338047392112
