Purpose
To choose a hub that is central, safe and permanent enough to carry the group's connection.
Scope
Every group that is ready to connect.
Good hub sites
A library, church, school, community hall or another approved facility that is:
- geographically central to the members' homes;
- secure, with someone responsible for it;
- connected to electricity, or has solar potential;
- available with the written permission of the owner.
Procedure
- The leaders propose a site and add it on the group's map in the network planner.
- They record whether the site has electricity, solar potential, security and owner permission.
- They drag the hub marker on the map to compare positions. The planner shows how many homes fall into each distance band.
- The Bridge team approves the hub. Status moves from proposed to approved, equipment ordered, installed and operational.
Records
Hub record, site checks, owner permission letter, hub position history.
