• Connection with other businesses, community groups, residents and landowners, and emergency agencies to help during emergency preparedness, relief and recovery conditions.

If you are a resident or landowner, including absentee landowners who may not always reside in the region, we encourage you to create a personal profile and use the app to connect with businesses and community groups in your area, view upcoming events, and engage with the online noticeboard where people in your community can post topical information.
