The Hub is a system of physical and digital community bulletin boards designed to serve the diverse constituencies of Red Hook. In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the HUB was developed by a team of local organizations and residents. Special thanks to the Red Hook Coalition, Red Hook Communications Working Group, Red Hook Initiative, Good Shepherd Services and the Brooklyn Public Library Red Hook Branch for their commitment to seeing the HUB through to its fruition. The Hub collects and displays information relevant to community needs, during both crisis and non-crisis conditions. The Hub consists of participatory content, where anyone can post information, as well as official content shared by the Hub coordinator and community partners. The physical structures are strategically placed throughout the community.
