Uki Resilience is using donations raised to improve communication when mainstream networks go down and has so far distributed 53 UHF radios in the area.  The aim is to secure booster antennas for the radios and VHF radio assets with repeater stations. Also, attain satellite internet capacity and power backup and training in alternative communications.

RUKI also aims to improve the community’s resources by building a cache of well-positioned community owned assets for immediate, self-sufficient response to flood or fire. This includes assisting the Uki School of Arts Hall to become off-grid as a functioning emergency hub, emergency rescue equipment, road clearing and house cleaning equipment, back-up power sources, first aid supplies for human and animals, temporary fencing and water treatment.
