A headquarters to help the Zone’s firefighters.

At the beginning of April 2020 the forest in the Chornobyl Zone caught fire. Within ten days the flames had reached Prypiat. People started writing to us on their own: where to send money, what to buy.

CHORNOBYL HUB became the coordinating headquarters of the volunteer center. On the deck we collected and sorted water, snacks, soap, towels and disinfectants and packed food parcels. From here the volunteer car took the loads to firefighters and to people in Lychmany and neighbouring villages who had lost their homes - in those weeks it covered about one and a half thousand kilometres in the Zone.

The information headquarters worked here too: online meetings with ecologists and up to seventeen interviews a day for Ukrainian and foreign media.
