Ardentinny Emergency team/ equipment review/ Ardentinny village hall

Improving the Resilience of Ardentinny post Storm Eowyn - Ardentinny Village Hall Sunday 6th April 2pm – 4pm

This is an invitation to a drop-in session to view the newly acquired Ardentinny Community Emergency Team Equipment and  understand how it will be used and made available to the residents of the village in the event of a future severe power outage.

We will display USB power packs, a 230V power pack, gas stoves, lights and a generator.

Stuart Gray will show you how you can turn your mobile phone into a WiFi hotspot when you have no WiFi at home. So, bring it along with you.

Some residents have expressed an interest in having a generator connected to their house circuit for use during a power cut. This has safety implications and must be carried out by a qualified person. Mark Holmes (electrician) will be in attendance to advise on what would be involved in doing this so that it was compliant with the regulations.

The Village Hall currently acts as our central Emergency Hub, and would be our planned location where residents can come and make use of the equipment in the event of a sustained power outage.

The new equipment has been kindly sponsored by a grant from the Ardentinny Renewables Trust.

Hope to see you there

Ardentinny Community Emergency Team
