Civil defence centres
        
        Civil defence centres or community hubs are council and community facilities that can be temporarily opened during an emergency to shelter people evacuated from their homes.
There are currently no civil defence centres open in Palmerston North.
If we open a civil defence centre during an emergency, we'll let you know here, on our main Council Facebook page, and over local radio.
