While it’s almost five years since the Black Summer Fires, disaster resilience is still front of mind for many in the community (especially with today’s heat records.)

Not for profit group Repurposing for Resilience’s project to build and fit out a trailer was launched today at the Yarragee Road Waste Transfer Station in Moruya.

The Community Access Solar Power Trailer has been built for rapid assistance in emergency situations, events and everyday life.

The 5m long solar powered trailer is fitted out with everything they could think of including a kitchen sink.

The roof is constructed of solar panels which lift up to reveal, fridge and freezer, pull out kitchen, barbecue, shower, first aid, radios and even some swags.

The solar power is supplemented with a back-up generator.

The trailer comes with satellite internet.

The concept is to have the trailer available for events as well, and on Friday there were two sessions for community groups to hear about what the trailer was capable of and contribute what their needs might be.
