Newlands Resilience Group

With better connectedness and involvement, our people will be more resilient, able to respond to and recover from emergencies quickly.

Our Mission:

We believe that local engagement can improve the resources, development and connections in the hills where we live. We also believe that through this we can be better prepared for disasters big or small that impact our community.
