Building on community 
to create resilience.

What is Oakville Ready?

The OakvilleReady pilot project, as funded by the Oakville Community Foundation, seeks to establish an Oakville neighbourhood extreme weather resiliency hub model using places of worship  as engagement and care anchors. Our goal is to create an Oakville resiliency hub network that engages diverse community stakeholders to increase their personal resiliency, community capacity and understanding around how we can work to support each other during extreme weather events.

OakvilleReady Objectives

Inform
Engage residents and diverse local stakeholders to participate in becoming more resilient to our changing climate, join the OakvilleReady working group, or sign on as a participating OakvilleReady HUB location.

Collaborate (Consult/Involve)
Work with existing local networks of community partners, interfaith stakeholders and municipal advisors to choose suitable hub sites. 
Form working groups at each hub site, where neighbours are engaged to design and develop “action plan” recommendations to serve their most vulnerable members.

Understand the Need
Conduct community-based asset mapping, highlighting vulnerable sectors and potential risks to ensure community needs are met.

Plan and Execute Empower
Participating HUB location participants will be educated and trained in how they keep their loved ones safe and respond to the public in emergency situations.  When enacted these HUB locations will be in direct communication with emergency personal at the town in order to provide accurate and timely information to the public.
